Aochan, comparable to Carrefour in terms of selection, has a much better variety of imported products than the standard Chinese grocery store.  There is a small aisle full of Western products on the 2nd floor.  There is also a decent selection of imported liquors.  Prices are not too unreasonable, and Aochan does claim to beat any price in the city if you can provide proof of a lower price.

How to Get There

It is located west of Xinjiekou (新街口).  There is no subway nearby.  Take a taxi if you are going to be loading up on supplies at Aochan.

Relaxing Hot Spring Tour at Tangshan Area

Nanjing Tangshan is famous for the hot spring, hot spring is good for your skin and health, and relaxing your body and get rid of the press.

Maybe you don't like all the tourist attractions in the downtown, here would be one of another option.

This tour will be only visit 2 attractions and the rest will be spend the whole time in the hot spring. Or, if you prefer, you can only go for the spring.

Tour plan would be:

Hotel pick up -----> Yangshan Stele -----> Tangshan Ancient Ape Man Caves -----> Hot Spring -----> Send back to hotel.

 

Since Tangshan is a little town outside of Nanjing city and it`s quite far away, i would suggest to use a private car to drive there directly.
