Once the capital of China, Nanjing is a city full of history, surprises, and quiet beauty — yet barely anyone talks about it. In this video, we spend a day exploring its hidden gems: from walking the historic city wall and wandering through the peaceful alleys of Laomendong, to tasting local street food. This is Nanjing — and it deserves way more attention.
