Jasmine International Youth Hostel
I'd give this place about a 3/5. It was definitely built with the hot summers in mind because the restaurant/reading room/front desk/internet area couldn't hold heat at all. The staff was pretty nice and they had the cutest golden retriever named Batto. The rooms were way to small though, and I couldn't find any showers for the dorm rooms. Also, the food was really limited, super expensive, and not as good as the other hostels I've stayed at around China.
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Scenic Area
It was weird going straight from Shanghai to a scenic area but the peace and quiet was pretty awesome. Also, a good workout.
Ming Tomb Scenic Area
In the same area as the Sun Yat-Sen memorial. The tomb itself was boring but the sacred way was line with really big animals sculpted out of rock. It was pretty expensive to enter the area but definitely worth it if you go exploring up to the lake and hot springs at the top of the mountain.
Nanjing Massacre Museum
Interesting museum. Poorly lit but probably the best sculpture pieces I've seen in a long time.
The Overnight T train
The most expensive bed I've stayed in in China but not so bad as long as you don't get the middle bunk (like I did).
