Studying in Nanjing — what matters

Former capital of China (ten times) and the cultural center of Jiangsu province. Nanjing University is part of C9 and strong in humanities and social sciences. The city is more compact than Beijing or Shanghai but rich in history: ancient walls, the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, the 1937 memorial museum. Ideal for serious academic work without the chaos of a megacity.
