Tracing the history of the republican era

📍 Presidential Palace, Nanjing ✨ Another important landmark that you shouldn't miss when visiting Nanjing is the Presidential Palace, or the old presidential palace during the last dynasty and the early Republic of China. The atmosphere is shady, full of big trees and well-preserved old buildings. ✨ We spent about 2-3 hours walking around because the area is quite large. Inside, there are offices, meeting rooms, secret offices, and residences of former officials. It's like walking in a historical movie scene. My friends who came to visit with me were very excited because they got to see Dr. Sun Yat-sen's office. ✨ What I really liked was the combination of the actual building with the photo exhibition, old documents, and models, which made me understand the political context of that era clearly, especially during the transition from the imperial regime to the republican regime. ✨ Inside, there is an ancient Chinese-style garden area for walking around. There are pavilions, ponds, and small stone bridges. The atmosphere is quiet and the photos come out beautifully. The afternoon sunlight is just right, and the light filtering through the leaves gives a great feeling. ✨ The entrance fee is around 40 yuan per person. There are English signs explaining almost every point. For those who like history or early 20th-century architecture, I recommend leaving some time because each zone has a lot of details. #TravelEco
