Massacre of Nanjing The trip from Hangzhou to Nanjing took us only 4 hours. But finding the hostel took us relatively long time. We had read that the hostel is located close to the station. So we started walking, and walking and walking. We found the right street but the numbers didn't seem to get smaller. We had walked for 100 house numbers for half an hour and there were still some 150 to go. We continued for a while but in the end decided to take a taxi. And ...
