Jianye District (simplified Chinese: 建邺区; traditional Chinese: 建鄴區; pinyin: Jiànyè Qū) is one of 11 districts of Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province, China.

[1] Nanjing, once called Jianye, was the capital city of six dynasties beginning in 3 AD, in large part because of its position on the Yangtze River.

[12] Jiangxin Island may be reached via the Yingtian Street Elevated Bridge,[13] which is a 760 metres (2,490 ft) bridge that connects the island, and its YOG Forest Park, to the mainland at the Nanjing International Expo Center, one of the sites for the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics.

It is the first pedestrian bridge to cross the Yangtze.

[14] Everbright International has its Nanjing office in Lianqiang International Mansion (联强国际大厦) in Jianye District.
