It's a two-hour flight to Guangzhou and Beijing and 3 hours by train to Shanghai. This proximity to Shanghai is major reason for the economic boom of the Nanjing region. But the stretch from Nanjing to HangZhou has tourist traffic due to the famous cities such Zhenjiang, Wuxi, and Suzhou. The airport is ranked 15th among 126 civil airports in China in terms of yearly passenger transport, and 10th for yearly cargo transport. The airport is connected by a 29 kilometer (18 miles) highway directly to the city center, and is also linked to various inter-city highways, making it accessible to the passengers from the surrounding cities. The airport currently has 85 routes to national and international destinations, which include Japan, Korea, Thailand and Singapore. The Nanjing airport also provides regular daily connections to all the major cities within China. Air Ticket Booking Train Nanjing also has excellent rail links especially to Shanghai
(4 hours), Suzhou (2 hours), Hangzhou (5.5 hours), Anhui, and

Boat Nanjing has a developed river transportation system and passenger ships service. Passenger cruise ships can take travelers to Zhenjiang, Yangzhou and Nantong in Jiangsu Province or downstream along the great Yangtze to Shanghai or upstream to Wuhu, Anqing, Jiujiang and Chongqing and other ports of call. The length of journey varies depending on the type of boat you travel on. Travelling by boat is a lovely way to travel between some of the more popular spots but can be wearing and time consuming. The Port of Nanjing is the largest inland port in China, with a port area of 98 kilometers (61 miles) in full length and has 64 berths including 16 berths for ships with more than a 10,000 tonnage.
