• Presidential Palace of Nanjing - Situated at No.292 Changjiang Road in Nanjing, the Nanjing Presidential Palace is now the Museum of Modern Chinese History. With a history spanning over 600 years, this site has consistently served as a political and military center in China, witnessing significant historical events and hosting influential figures. The architectural complex, which combines traditional Chinese gardens with Western-style buildings, is a vital historical site in modern China.

Notice

• Peak seasons: Highly popular during holidays; full-day visits are advised.
• Closure policy: Closed on Mondays (except public holidays).
• Alternative arrangements: If tickets are unavailable or due to closures, visits will be redirected to Yuhuatai Memorial Park. A refund will be provided.
• Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum (Zhongshan Ling) - The Zhongshan Mausoleum Scenic Area includes architectural complexes such as the Bo’ai Archway, Processional Path, Mausoleum Gate, Stele Pavilion, Memorial Hall, and Tomb Chamber. As the mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the entrance features his handwritten calligraphy “博爱” (Bo’ai, meaning “Universal Love”) in gilded characters. The entire ensemble follows a north-south axial alignment along the mountain terrain, forming a symbolic “freedom bell” layout to honor Sun Yat-sen’s vision of awakening the Chinese people.

Notice

• Monday closures: The area inside the Mausoleum Gate (including the Memorial Hall and Tomb Chamber) is closed on Mondays for maintenance. Visitors may explore the Bo’ai Square, Xiaojing Ding (Filial Piety Cauldron), and the Processional Path instead.
• Meiling Palace - Located on Xiaohong Hill, east of Square City in the Zhongshan Scenic Area of Nanjing’s Xuanwu District, Meiling Palace is celebrated as the “Premier Villa of the Far East”.

The main building is a three-story, double-eaved mountain-style palace that combines traditional Chinese architectural elements (e.g., green glazed tiles, upturned eaves) with Western modern techniques (e.g., arched windows, marble floors).

Surrounded by lush phoenix trees and seasonal blooms, the palace offers panoramic views of Nanjing. From above, its layout resembles a “necklace” of tree-lined paths encircling the structure, with the green-tiled roof forming the “gem”.

Notice:

• April Closure: Temporarily replaced by Music Stage. Adults receive a complimentary ticket for Music Stage, while children’s tickets exclude this substitution.
• Niushoushan Forestal Park - Niushou Mountain, also known as Tianque Mountain (Heavenly Gate Mountain), is named for its twin peaks resembling a bull’s horns.

Highlights

• Cultural Legacy: Combines Buddhist architecture (e.g., Hongjue Temple) with imperial hunting grounds from the Six Dynasties.
• Natural Beauty: Ancient pines, seasonal wildflowers, and the 16-km Buddha’s Halo Scenic Trail offering panoramic views.

Notice

• Size & Accessibility: The expansive park (30 km²) recommends optional use of on-site shuttle buses (¥20/person) to optimize time. Note: Shuttle rides do not include guided commentary; unified explanations are provided at key sites.
