NEO-NANJING
Amid ancient culture and age-old attractions, Fraser Suites Nanjing
finds a niche in the city’s new wave of progress
To many, a visit to Nanjing is
incomplete without a taste of its
renowned delicacy, the Nanjing
salted duck. Yet its age-old recipe
is hardly the city’s best-preserved treasure.
One of the four great ancient capitals of
China, Nanjing is also known as the
capital of Six Dynasties – referring
to the dynasties that ruled
from 222 to 589.
The era of dynastic rule may be long
gone, but the rich legacy of ancient
China lives on. The Confucius Temple, the
UNESCO World Heritage-listed imperial
tombs of the Ming Dynasty and Dr Sun
Yat-Sen Mausoleum are among the many
attractions that have preserved Nanjing’s
near 2,500 years of history, making
the city one of China’s top
cultural destinations.
