I want to travel from Nanjing Airport to Nanjing South Railway Station. Is there a subway connecting them? If yes, which line and how long will the trip take? Or is it faster to go by taxi? We have 4 hours time to do it.
Thks a lot for Information, Hanne
Hello Hanne,
No direct subway line linking Nanjing airport and Nanjing South Railway Station. It is better to take a taix from the airport to the train station: 33Km, about 40-minute taxi drive and approximately RMB 100
I would like to arrive at Nanjing South, visit the Memorial Hall of the Nanjing Massacre and return to Nanjing South to catch a train for Suzhou. Can you advise me please how long it will take on the subway to the Memorial Hall from Nanjing South, and whether I can leave my luggage at the station?
Many thanks
Hello Neil,
You should allocate at least 3 hours for a round trip by subway ( Nanjing South – the Massacre – Nanjing South). Yes, you can leave your lugggae at a deposit office. There are locker facilities available at Nanjing South Station.
Thank you very much Daniel, I appreciate your helpful reply.
