Hi Bako,
If you mean the Great Wall in northern China, you need to get Beijing or Jiayuguan or Shanhaiguan or some other northern cities first. There are dozens flights and trains depart Nanjing bound to Beijing, and you can get there easily. If you mean the Nanjing Ming Great Wall, you just need to take a taxi to Huju Road or Qingliang Gate.
Hope it helps.
