Location insights

Where Nanjing moves

Nanjing spreads along the Yangtze and around a chain of dense hubs. Xinjiekou, one of China's busiest commercial cores, anchors the shopping and office crowds beneath Zifeng Tower, while the Confucius Temple and the Qinhuai River draw a constant tourist tide. Hexi new town holds the modern financial and exhibition district along its tram line, and Nanjing South, one of Asia's largest rail stations, funnels millions of arrivals. The Xianlin university city fills the east with students, and one of the world's largest metro systems ties it all together. Screens at Xinjiekou, Fuzimiao and the rail stations catch the steadiest repeat eyes.

Confucius Temple / Fuzimiao and the main arteries surge 7:30–10 AM and 5–8 PM. Book exactly those hours and your frequency climbs for the same budget.

Retail plateau, all afternoon

Nanjing South Railway and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.

Evenings change the audience

Xinjiekou CBD shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.

Location intelligence summary

One city, several audiences a day

Nanjing doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.

Match the tide, not the calendar

A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Nanjing’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.

Creative by daypart

Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.

Proof, not vibes

Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.

Pricing · updated June 2026

Nanjing billboards: priced honestly

Per-play prices, not CPM mysteries. Live per-screen pricing and real-time availability are on every card in the platform; the ranges below reflect typical Blindspot pricing as of June 2026.

No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen

Four things move the price on any Nanjing screen: the format (pricing runs higher on transit & metro screens than on roadside & ring-road digital), the zone (Xinjiekou CBD carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.

What a campaign costs

Nanjing budgets, three ways

Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.

A week of daytime bursts across Xinjiekou and Fuzimiao.

FAQ

Nanjing billboard FAQs

Do I need a permit to advertise on a Nanjing billboard?

No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, Focus Media, JCDecaux China, Clear Media among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.

What creative specs do I need for a Nanjing screen?

Specs vary by screen: orientation, resolution and file format differ from one panel to the next. Every screen shows its exact requirements in the platform before you upload, so there's no separate spec sheet to track down before you book.

Can I book a Nanjing billboard for just a few hours?

Yes, on Blindspot every Nanjing screen is bookable by the hour with no minimum contract, so you can buy only the commute peaks, shopping afternoons, or evening windows that match your audience.

Which DOOH networks can I reach in Nanjing?

Blindspot aggregates digital out-of-home inventory across Nanjing onto one map, roadside and boulevard screens, transit, mall and place-based panels, bookable per play. The wider OOH supply is run by operators such as Focus Media, JCDecaux China, Clear Media.

How fast can my ad go live in Nanjing?

Often within hours: upload, pass creative pre-check, and digital screens need no printing or installation. Content approval typically averages around two business days across networks.

A multi-day hourly presence on a high-traffic Confucius Temple / Fuzimiao corridor, a concentrated burst across the busiest transit and retail screens at peak hours, or thousands of plays on central urban panels.
