NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nanjing, one of China's four ancient capital cities, is rich with history and culture, and a new six-part video series launched by the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism helps English-speaking consumers immerse themselves in the destination to then design culturally-driven travel itineraries.
The "Nanjing: Then & Now" video series draws parallels between past dynasties and modern-day China to guide viewers through Nanjing's landscape, cuisine, architecture, history, and more, offering an unparalleled glimpse into the city's captivating blend of ancient traditions and contemporary allure.
Each episode takes viewers on an evocative exploration through Nanjing and its cultural pillars.

The video series is part of the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism's efforts to attract international visitors back to the city as the frequency of direct flight routes from major U.S. and Canadian gateways to Shanghai's Pudong International Airport, (a primary point of entry to the country located approximately 200 miles away), continues to increase. The authentic, educational tourism experience offered in Nanjing aligns with current consumer trends and is a worthy consideration for inclusion in a comprehensive China travel itinerary that explores the wonder of the country – past, present and future.
