I've thought of that, but since I arrive on a Thursday, leave on a Sunday, that basically just gives me one full day in Nanjing. It would give me the chance to eat at Din Tai Fung though
Plus the W-A doesn't look super convenient to transit or to either railway station. There is a Hilton (and HGI) near the train station, but I'm not sure what else is out that way.
I'd rather just rip the band-aid off and get to Nanjing right awa.
