Nanjing Presidential Palace
The Nanjing Presidential Palace is a relatively large-scale and well-preserved architectural complex among the remains of modern Chinese architecture.
History
The Nanjing Presidential Palace has not only the traditional Jiangnan gardens in ancient China, but also the architectural relics of the modern west wind spreading eastward. It has a history of more than 600 years. Its history can be traced back to the Guidehou Mansion and Hanwang Mansion in the early Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, it was established as the Jiangning Weaving Department and Liangjiang Governor’s Office. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established its capital in Tianjing (now Nanjing), it expanded on this basis. On January 1, 1912, the interim president was sworn in here, and it was turned into the presidential palace, and later the Nanjing presidential palace.
Inside the Presidential Palace
This is a courtyard that combines Chinese and Western styles. There are not only well-designed western-style office buildings, towering columns, deep corridors, but also quiet and elegant Chinese-style gardens. At present, the Presidential Palace is divided into three visiting areas: central, west and east. There are a series of historical material exhibition halls and restoration displays, as well as some wax figures of figures that reproduce historical scenes. You can first visit the central area along the central axis, and then enter the west or east area from the end.
