First the nation’s capital in the early years of the Míng dynasty (A.D. 1368-1644), then the capital of the Republic of China from 1911 to 1937, and now capital of Jiangsu Province, this bustling city of 6 million has an important place in China’s history. The city has an excellent array of historical sights, museums and cultural sights, and there are also reminders that Nánjing was the seat of the Tàipíng Rebellion and the site of one of history’s most brutal massacres.
