Ming City Wall The Ming City Wall is considered to be one of the longest walls in the world with 15.5 miles of the original 22 miles of the wall still remain intact. The historical landmark, Ming City Wall was ordered by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, to protect Nanjing from invaders during its time as the capital from 1368 to 1421. Inside the wall, you can visit the Lao Cui Teahouse to learn about traditional Chinese tea and other cultural activities like calligraphy.

Over the past few decades, massive volumes of smart card data from metro systems have been used to investigate passengers’ mobility patterns and assess the performance of metro network. With the rapid development of urban rail transit in densely populated areas, new metro lines are constantly designed and operated in recent years. Te appearance of new metro lines may signifcantly afect passenger fow and travel time in the metro network. In this study, smart card data of metro system from Nanjing, China, are used to study the changes of metro passenger fow and travel time due to the operation of a new metro line (i.e., Line 4, opened on 18 January 2017).

  • Particulate Matter Exposures Under Five Different Transportation Modes During Spring Festival Travel Rush in China
    processes Article Particulate Matter Exposures under Five Different Transportation Modes during Spring Festival Travel Rush in China Yao Zhang 1,† , Nu Yu 1,*,†, Mengya Zhang 1 and Quan Ye 2 1 Department of Air Traffic, College of Civil Aviation, Nanjing 211106, China; [email protected] (Y.Z.); [email protected] (M.Z.) 2 Department of Computer Science, School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-189-4964-2736 † These two authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: Serious traffic-related pollution and high population density during the spring festival (Chinese new year) travel rush (SFTR) increases the travelers’ exposure risk to pollutants and biohazards. This study investigates personal exposure to particulate matter (PM) mass concentration when commuting in five transportation modes during and after the 2020 SFTR: China railway high- speed train (CRH train), subway, bus, car, and walking. The routes are selected between Nanjing and Xuzhou, two major transportation hubs in the Yangtze Delta. The results indicate that personal exposure levels to PM on the CRH train are the lowest and relatively stable, and so it is recommended to take the CRH train back home during the SFTR to reduce the personal PM exposure. The exposure level to PM2.5 during SFTR is twice as high as the average level of Asia, and it is higher than the WHO air quality guideline (AQG). Citation: Zhang, Y.; Yu, N.; Zhang, M.; Ye, Q. Particulate Matter Keywords: Chinese spring festival travel rush; COVID-19; exposure; particulate matter Exposures under Five Different Transportation Modes during Spring Festival Travel Rush in China.
