Each place is classified from its own Wikidata type, not from its name, and is ordered by measured straight-line distance from the centre of Nanjing. Distances are great-circle kilometres between two published coordinates — this page does not publish travel times, transport schedules, opening hours, ticket prices, or rankings. Confirm access, facilities, and seasonal conditions with an official source before travelling.
