FAQ on Nanjing

Hi Elizebeth, you can get a brief overview of Nanjing via here: http://www.chinahighlights.com/nanjing/

Hi George, you said that you don't need a tour guide. Can you speak Chinese?  Please kindly advise. As our driver could not speak or understand English, if there is no tour guide, it would be quite difficult for both of you to communicate. Besides Nanjing and Huangshan, Hangzhou/ Suzhou/ Shanghai are all charming places to visit, and not quite far away.

Hi Carine, we can arrange a private tour to Nanjing &  Inner Mongolia for you. Besides these 2 cities, Xian, Luoyang, Datong, Pingyao, Beijing, etc. are also recommended. In August, summer clothes such as T-shirt and shorts would cope with the weather. A light coat is suggested when the temperature may drop down in the evening.

Hi Catherine, it is about CNY800-900 per day for a group of 2 persons, excluding hotels.

Hi Katrina, the bus is available from Nanjing Central Bus Station. The timetable is 7:30, 13:20, 14:00.

Hi nana ama appiah,

Thanks for your inquiry!

It is about 50 kilometers from Nanjing airport to Nanjing East Bus Station, by taking a taxi, it is about CNY150 for the ride. There are usually a lot of buses waiting in line for passengers. You will get one easily. Have a nice trip!

There are two types of tour in Shanghai for your consideration. One is private tour and the second one is seat-in-coach tour (group/coach tour). Let me know know more of your tour plan such as when will you stay in Shanghai, how many days and interests etc. so that we could send you proposal accordingly.

In a private tour, you will have your own guide and driver and we could customize the itinerary for you, which means you will be the boss to decide when and where to start and visit, and as your travel advisor we will give you suggestion accordingly. This type of tour is relatively higher, but price will be better when you have more people to share the cost or  you buy more tour with a package.

Another tour type is seat-in-coach tour (group/coach tour), which has fixed tour date and itinerary and lower but also fixed price.

1. China Highlights does not operate Seat-in-Coach Tours. We act as a booking agent for specialized SIC operators. 

2. The coach will pick up and return all tour guests to their hotels. This may mean that guests spend a substantial time on the coach while traveling between hotels. This time onboard the coach is always included as part of the duration of the tour. 

3. A large tour group obviously reduces the ability of the guide to answer particular questions from guests and satisfy special requests from guests. 

4. Guests may be required to move through the attractions at a pace faster that they wish, to meet the demands of the whole tour party and the time restrictions. 

5. If you need to catch the overnight train, you will need to check out the hotel before you start the tour and you could save your luggage in the lobby. 

6. China Highlights specializes in Private Tours but we also realize that some people prefer a slightly less expensive option. Is order to achieve these savings we sometimes use Group Tours run by other operators to reduce the cost to our customers. These tour operators will usually have two shopping opportunities each day and will also offer optional tours during the tour or at night. These shopping stops and tours provide income for the operator, the guide and driver. China Highlights has no control over this activity. We want you to be aware of this in advance.
