Nanjing, with a total area of 6,598 km, is situated in the largest economic zone of China, the Yangtze River Delta, which is part of the downstream Yangtze River drainage basin. Yangtze River flows past the west side of Nanjing City Proper, while the Ningzheng Ridge surrounds the north, east and south side of the city. The city is 300 km from Shanghai, 1200 km from Beijing, and 1400 km from Chongqing.
There is a large park called Purple Mountain East of the lake, Northeast of city center. It contains Ming Dynasty tombs, the mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen (leader of the 1911 revolution) and other impressive stuff. You could spend a day or more just exploring this. Admission varies but is around ￥100. The park has a shuttle "train" you can ride and is included in the price of certain tickets.
There is also a cable car going up the hill, and if you have the right shoes, feel free to walk down from the hill. Prices are fairly acceptable, for one-ride ￥25, for up-and-down ￥45.
Presidential Palace is a great way to spend a day exploring the headquarters of past emperors and later, the Nationalist government. The Palace includes the offices of many top governemental officials, including Chang Kai-shek and Sun Yat-sen, as well as the residence of Sun Yat-sen. The informational placards are printed in four languages. Admission is about ￥40.
Nanjing Museum, right on the main street of Nanjing, offers you a lot of different culture scenes, including the sailing of Zheng He (the eunuch admiral of the Ming Dynasty who explored at least to Africa, perhaps further) and real-silk-making. It's a great place to spend either a hot or rainy day.
There is a monument to the 1937 Nanjing massacre by Japanese troops of many thousands of Chinese, including a partly excavated mass grave where visitors can see the skeletons. Don't go there if you're sensitive, because it can be really upsetting. There is no entrance fee. As of mid-2007, the memorial is closed due to construction of a subway line through the area.
One of the bridges over the Yangtze has sculptures that are a classic of socialist art. Workers and farmers have tools; military have weapons. They all have books, presumably of Mao's Thought. The bridge was built after the clinch between the Soviet Union and China in the early 60's. The Soviet Advisors told Mao that it wouldn't be possible, but the Chinese built it anyway. This was the first major project built entirely by Chinese, without foreign help. Very interesting monument, and on the other side there are completely new towns in the making (Finished around spring 2006) including direct subway-connection.
