Nanjing has a relatively wide selection of local foods called Jin Su cuisine, along with restaurants featuring Chinese cuisine from other provinces and foreign restaurants. The prices are lower than in Shanghai. You can find both Chinese and Western food.
A local favorite is Yanshui Ya (salted and baked duck), and you can see the ducks hanging in shops and restaurants. Another local dish is Eight Delicacies Soup made of fish, water chestnuts, lotus root, parsley, arrowroot, lotus seeds and other ingredients. This is a popular dish especially around "Moon Festival" time. A good place to go for Nanjing cuisine and Chinese cuisine is the area around Confucius Temple and the Qinhuai River.
If you want to have a western meal, then there are western style restaurants serving the expats and students on Shanghai Lu that is a street near universities.

I will visit nanjing by the middlE of this mont until the middle of next year. I have a. 1 year baby. Is the weather safe for her? And can I get food easily for baby there?
Hi Leony, Nanjing is cold in winter time, with heavy humidity and occasional snow. November is a little warm. January is the coldest month with the low temperature dropping to -7 °C (19 °F). The average low and high temperature is respectively at 0 °C (32 °F) and 9 °C (49 °F) in December, -2 °C (29 °F) and 7 °C (44 °F) in January. Down jackets or cotton-padded coats, sweaters and thick jeans are suitable to cope with the weather. I don't know if this weather will be safe or not, to a baby of 1 year old. But it is easily to get food for baby in Nanjing.
Me and my wife will be visiting Nanjing on October 10. I took accommodation at Orange Hotel (Nanjing Donghuamen). I would like to know how to reach this hotel from Nanjing airport. Also, are there any Indian restaurant near by this Hotel. If so, how far it is from this Hotel. Thanks in advance.
Hi Ranjith, you can take a taxi to Orange Hotel. It is about 45km from the airport, takes 50-60mins and costs CNY150-170.
