Per
info from other colleagues who have been in Nanjing for training also, the
training venue is about 1 hour ride by bus from the hotel we lived in. That
means we don’t have time to explore the city and we do not know yet if there
will be a day tour allocated for us before heading back home.
Might as well make use of our free hours and see the Confucius Temple at
Fuzimiao, with Sir Nards as our guide, because it was his second time
in Nanjing. Our plan was to take the subway from Xinmifanmalu to
Sanshanjie station, then by foot going to the temple.
Following the downloaded map, we took
another walk of the day to the nearby Nanjing Metro Subway Station the Xinmofanmalu,
which was about 20 to 30 minute medium to fast paces from the hotel.
Luckily, the ticket counter at the subway
station has an English translation. A little click here and there viola, we already have our tickets in the form of plastic coins.
The printed English translations within the Metro subway made it a tourist friendly transport option.
