Stone Town is called Stone Town. Broadly speaking, it is another name for Nanjing today. In a narrow sense, it refers to Shishan Town in the west of the old city of Nanjing. This stone city once played a very important role in history, so people used to call Nanjing the "stone city". Therefore, Stone Town has become one of many nicknames in Nanjing.
Nanjing, referred to as "Ning", was called Jinling and Jiankang in ancient times. Jiangsu Province is a prefecture-level city, a provincial capital city, a sub-provincial city, a core city of Nanjing metropolitan area, an important scientific research and education base and a comprehensive transportation hub.
