Situated on Baixia Rd., just a stone's throw away from the historic Huaihe River that meanders its way through Nanjing, ODTN's offices are a nexus of news and information for the greater Nanjing metropolitan area, as well as for Jiangsu province and China as a whole. ODTN is the English language version of longhoo.net, a Chinese language website catering to Nanjing; both websites are operated under the auspices of Nanjing's municipal government, and serve as an important tool for carrying local news and information.

Unlike our Chinese language site, ODTN not only provides relevant and up to date information to the English speaking populous living in Nanjing, but also strives to introduce Nanjing and it's cornucopia of local culture, news, and business to foreign friends in the west. Because of our close relationship with the government, ODTN is also able to offer a range of IT and consulting style services aimed at encouraging foreign investment of local enterprises and economic projects.

Set up by the Nanjing municipal government as a news and information carrying apparatus, ODTN's primary mission is to bring a greater understanding of this part of China by ensuring a steady up to date flow of news and information that goes beyond simply relaying news stories to include analysis of the effect of economic development trends and the newest reforms, as well as coverage on what this all means for the people of Nanjing. We explore both the successful and unsuccessful of Nanjing' business sector, look at the real social-economic problems Nanjing faces and how the municipal government plans to meet these challenges, and ultimately provide you with the information you need to have a successful experience in this part of China, be it that you plan a visit here for purely tourist reasons, or you plan to invest.

We hope you find this site educational and useful, however if you have any suggestions or comments, we encourage you to share by contacting us.
