+restaurant, but unfortunately it is a bit on the pricier side.

+down a taxi at the big street. An ATM machine is situated a few 
+minutes down the smaller TongWei Road. If you want to take a 
+walk in the evening, Xingyuan suggest a stroll through the 
+Purple Mountain Area on the top-right in the map in 
+Fig.~\ref{hotelmap}. This area is approximately a 15 minutes 
+walk away from the hotel and contains for example the Sun Yat 
+Sen memorial and the Linggu pagoda.

+\item\textbf{Metro Stations Near the Hotel}\hspace{3mm}
+
+There are two metro stations near the hotel (Muxuyan and
+Xiamafang stations), which are pretty much the same distance
+from the hotel (see map in Fig~\ref{hotelmap}). Muxuyuan is
+easier to reach: just down TongWei Road and then turn left
+down the hill. The entrance of the metro is on the left-hand
+side. However it is not the most scenic route. More scenic is
+the walk to Xiamafang Metro Station through the campus of the
+Nanjing Agriculture University. Unfortunately the way is not
+so straightforward. If you are unfamiliar with the way, we
+suggest you walk to Muxuyuan station; once you followed some
+locals and know the way, go to Xiamafang station.

 \end{figure}
 
+\item\textbf{Shops and Restaurants Near the Hotel}\hspace{3mm}
+There is a very nice shopping area close to Xiamafang Metro 
+Station. There is a wide selection of restaurants in this
+area including Xingyuan's favourite restaurant for having
+lunch on workdays
+
+\begin{center}
+\includegraphics[scale=0.05]{travel_guide/rest.jpg}
+\end{center}
+
+\noindent This area also contains a ``Mickey Mouse bakery'',
+which stocks pastries similar to ones you might find in a 
+Western bakery (just in case you get bored of the baozi
+at breakfast in the hotel) and a pizza place in case you need 
+to eat something different than Chinese. 
+
+There is also a smaller shopping area in the ``middle'' of 
+Tongwei road including some native restaurants, and also some
+restaurants on the opposite side of NingHang Road. A smaller
+supermarket is at the end of Tongwei Road and a bigger one
+in the Xiamafang area.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{Further Afield}
+
+If you take the metro, you are very quickly in the downtown
+area of Nanjing (see metro map in Fig.~\ref{metronanjing}). 
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item\textbf{Shopping}\hspace{3mm}
+The most serious shopping malls in Nanjing can be found in the
+area around Xinjiekou and Daxinggong metro stations (on Line~2).
+Especially in multi-brand shopping malls the shopping goes
+like this: You find something you like. You agree the prize
+with the shop-assistant. You get a piece of paper, which you
+need to take to a cashier nearby. You pay there, get another
+piece of paper, which you take back to the store, where you
+receive your goods. Another quirk of shopping in China is that
+when the sale says, for example, ``80\% off'', it is actually
+20\% off, meaning you pay 80\% of the original price.
+
+\item\textbf{Restaurants}\hspace{3mm}The most famous area
+for restaurants in Nanjing is near the Confucius Temple, which
+is near the Fuzimiao Metro Station on Line~3. There you
+can find traditional-style houses and enjoy indigenous foods. 
+
+\item\textbf{Sight-Seeing}\hspace{3mm}Nanjing, being a former 
+capital, possessed one of the most impressive city walls. 
+Today you can see remainders at the North Gate near 
+Zhonghuamen Mtro Station on Line~1. From the station follow
+the red line in the map below.
+
+\begin{center}

+\hspace{5mm}
+\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{travel_guide/gate.jpg}
+\end{center}
+
+
+\noindent There is also another substantial and impressive
+section of the remaining city visible very close to the hotel:
+Walk the NingHuan Road towards the city centre, once you
+traversed the river, bear right. You will see a rather
+tall wall build of grey stones.
+
+Another scenic spot is the Xuanwu Lake, dotted with several
+beautiful small islands and a good place to have a walk. You
+can reach the lake by taking exit Xuanwumen at Line~3. 
+Xingyuan suggest the walk indicated red below.

+The ultimate bird's-eye view of Nanjing you can have 
+from the Zifeng Tower. For this you have to go to Guluo 
+Metro Station on Line~1.
