\item\textbf{Near the Hotel}\hspace{3mm}
-
The Hanyuan hotel is located at the intersection of a big road
(Houbiaoying Road 后标营路) and a smaller road (TongWei Road 童卫路).
If you need a taxi to go to Downtown Nanjing, for example, it
is probably the easiest to hail 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,

There are two metro stations near the hotel (Muxuyan and
