Nanjing main to Suzhou main today in 1h10min with quite a few intermediate stops. Was rather tired after a long morning meeting and lunch and just sipped on a beer and watched the scenery en route.

Nanjing main station, though modern in appearance, seriously lacks Nanjing south in service offerings. Please do buy especially food in advance, nothing really available at the station itself.

But again, I love this city, it's stunningly beautiful at times, the food is brilliant, the people complicated but interesting and the surrounding mountains offer some of the best spa experiences in China.
