Getting to Nanjing

Nanjing is centrally located on China's high-speed rail network, only 1.5 hours from Shanghai and 3.5 hours from Beijing.

By Air. Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NKG) serves domestic and international flights, including direct routes from major Asian hubs such as Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taipei. The airport is about 45–60 minutes by taxi from the conference hotel. For budget travellers, Metro Line S1 connects the airport to Nanjing South Railway Station (about 40 minutes), from where Metro Line 1 (towards Maigaoqiao) to Xinjiekou and Metro Line 2 (towards Jingtianlu) to Xi'anmen Station, about 9 minutes' walk from the hotel.

By High-Speed Rail. Nanjing has two major railway stations:

• Nanjing South Railway Station (南京南站) – one of the largest high-speed rail hubs in China, about 25–35 minutes by taxi, or Metro Line 3 to Daxinggong then Line 2 to Xi'anmen. Frequent G-trains run between Nanjing South and Shanghai Hongqiao (~1–1.5 h) and Beijing South (~3.5 h).
• Nanjing Railway Station (南京站) – in the north of the city, about 15–25 minutes by taxi from the hotel. Served by Metro Lines 1 and 3.
