What travelers say:
I really like the sense of history here and will come again. This time I considered taking two children, so I booked a private explanation service. Although it seems expensive, it feels very good value after use. Gold medal interpreter Guo is a middle-aged woman with a stomach and poetry and book style from China. She is rich in knowledge, friendly attitude, and the speed and voice are very comfortable and natural. There is no mantra and the expression is neat. With our outline, we have benefited a lot after a full three hours.

Presidential Palace of Nanjing Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Presidential Palace of Nanjing has a long history and prominent reputation. During the Qing Dynasty, it is the Weaving department of Jiangning and the Administrative headquarters of Jiangnan. On New Year's Day in 1912, Father of Modern China Dr Sun Yat-sen was appointed as the interim president at this location. Sun Yat-sen used this place as the president’s office and meeting room thereafter. Since then, the palace served as the presidential residence of the Kuomintang government. The building is a mixture of Chinese and Western architectural styles. It is generously proportioned and intriguing to look at. Take a stroll through the park to track the footsteps of Sun Yat-sen and understand the ever-changing nature of history.

Catch some History in Nanjing#tripblazers #couplestrip #nanjing The presidential palace is a beautiful example of not only the history of China, but also the history of architecture from the time. The site is split into three sections - the gardens, the offices and the official buildings. There is not a lot of English information when you are walking around, so it’s best to go with a tour group if you want to delve into the history of this place. But if that’s not your vibe, then enjoying the architecture and the gardens is also a lovely day out.HereComesTheSun24
Fascinating history at Presidential PalaceThe Presidential Palace of Nanjing is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Chinese history and culture. Located in the heart of the city, the palace served as the political center of China during the Republic of China era and is now a popular tourist attraction and cultural heritage site. The palace is expansive, covering over 90,000 square meters, and features a range of stunning architecture and intricate decorations. Visitors can explore the various halls and courtyards, each with its own unique design and history. Highlights include the impressive Main Hall, where the President of the Republic of China once received foreign dignitaries, and the charming Western-style Chaotian Palace. In addition to the beautiful architecture, the Presidential Palace of Nanjing also features a range of exhibits and artifacts that offer insight into the history and culture of China. Visitors can view historical documents, artifacts, and art collections, as well as learn about the life and work of past presidents. The palace is surrounded by a beautiful garden, which is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike to relax and take in the stunning scenery. Visitors can also catch a glimpse of the changing of the guard ceremony, which takes place daily.KadeeChi15

Presedential PalaceThis scenic spot rank #1 in Nanjing can't miss attractions cuz of its history. You'll find different offices and how it looked like before. President/Vice-President's offices look alike. The place is clean and well-maintained. I went there during the holiday and found few people. 📍How to get there by metro : Get off Daxingong station exit 5, about 10 minute walk and you're there. 📍Ticket : 35 rmb / 17.5 for students. If you love history, then this is a cool place for you. 1 hour walking around would be enough. #culturalattractions #historicculture #TigerYear2022 #awesomepic #historyofchinaqSweetPsycho142

The East Garden. 🌺🌿 It is also known as Restored Garden. After the troops of Qing dynasty captured the palace, it was totally destroyed. Later in 2003 the garden was rebuilt according to the historical information. 🌱🌺🎍 A beautiful garden with all green and such beautiful architecture with all the essence of the royalty. A must visit place inside presidential palace. 🌹 #garden #architecture #nanjingtravel #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorerFarz11

The main Hall. The main Hall is the first Hall of the palace, which is near to the entrance. It was the most luxurious ✨ Hall during the period of Taiping Heavenly kingdom. From the main Hall a corridor connects to the second Hall. 🎍 Daxinggong is the nearest metro station around 200m. 🚇 #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorerFarz8

Nanjing Day Trip: Dos and Don’ts!!!I highly recommend Nanjing if you’re feeling ambitious and wanna just get away for a day! Dos: 1. Take an early train in the morning because you will def need more time than you think 😂 2. Buy attraction tickets in advance on ctrip to avoid waiting in line (check if they support your ID type as some places need to verify your identification) 3. Activate your Nanjing metro card on Alipay ahead of time 4. Book a personalized tour at the presidential palace, it’s much more in-depth and detailed, you learn way more that way. The tour is worth it if you split the cost (100RMB up to 5 ppl) 5. Try the duck blood vermicelli noodle soup! （鴨血粉絲湯） Don’ts: 1. Don’t book a return train ticket until you know when you will leave if there’s many options for your city 2. Don’t take too long waiting for restaurants (there’s plenty of places to try!) 3. Don’t arrive at the Confucius temple too late. Their most popular attraction at night is the boat tour. Wait time was around 30+ mins when we arrived at 8:30pm 4. Don’t just visit Nanjing once! 😂 Getting There - 1.5 hour train from SH to Nanjing South Station Attractions - Grand Baoen Temple, Presidential Palace, Min Xiao Mausoleum and Confucius Temple Food & Restaurants - 雁归楼，问柳（老门东） #urbanexplorer#tripfoodieM_Kangaroo18
I have been to the presidential palace many years ago, and only opened the Gion of the West Road. It is nominally the former site of the Heavenly Kingdom of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Once again, I have to make up for the regrets of the year. I have carefully visited the presidential palace. It is a microcosm of modern history and it is worth savoring. Every office building, every courtyard, every historical imprint is worth stopping to stare!Foodie_Traveler.6

I really like the sense of history here and will come again. This time I considered taking two children, so I booked a private explanation service. Although it seems expensive, it feels very good value after use. Gold medal interpreter Guo is a middle-aged woman with a stomach and poetry and book style from China. She is rich in knowledge, friendly attitude, and the speed and voice are very comfortable and natural. There is no mantra and the expression is neat.

Nanjing, as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is an important place in China's recent and modern history. The presidential palace has witnessed the great changes from the Qing Dynasty to the Taiping Heaven to the Republic of China to the new China. It is an indispensable punch-in place in Nanjing. The tour guide explained vividly and interestingly, knowledgeable, engaging, reasonable route planning, no sales and no forced shopping throughout, a good choice.
Ok, the very interesting tour guide is also very good, humorous, teaching fun. . . . It is a pity that the people who went with me have broken ties.
recommend! ! The lecture teacher is too professional! Learn the history absolutely! Small case: everyone can move alone (when going upstairs), the teacher will wait downstairs, calculate the distance from the office, explain the indoor scene within the range that the headset can project, blind explanation! Awesome!
As a must-check attraction in Nanjing, the Presidential Palace is of course to see and understand the history of the Republic of China. But to visit the Presidential Palace, it is strongly recommended to call a tour guide or an explanation, otherwise the place is not big, if it is a person to visit, it will be finished in 20 minutes, and there is no feeling. It takes about 80 minutes to walk with a guide to explain, you can understand the history of some buildings and characters here, and you will have a better experience.
No surprises, no pits. . General experience, the tour time is only one hour enough. There are some special dining around, the grade is better to see the one, the surrounding streets can go.
