Presidential Palace of Nanjing
Nejlepší čas k návštěvě
Visit on a weekday morning right when gates open at 8:30 AM to avoid the tour groups that flood the main buildings by noon. Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) offer comfortable temperatures for exploring the extensive gardens.
Tipy pro rozpočet
Entry costs 40 RMB (about $5.50 USD). Students and seniors get half price with valid ID. Free admission on certain public holidays like National Day (Oct 1), but expect massive crowds on those days.

O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: Nine different Chinese governments made this sprawling compound their headquarters, from the Taiping rebels in the 1850s all the way to the Communist victory in 1949. The complex spans over 120,000 square meters and contains more than 1,000 rooms spread across traditional Chinese gardens and Western-style administrative buildings.
Zajímavosti: Tucked inside the complex is a quiet Western-style garden and early elevator installed by Chiang Kai-shek's government, one of the first working elevators in all of China at the time. You can still step into that original elevator car, with its brass grille and manual sliding gate, a surprising piece of 1930s technology hidden among ancient pavilions.
Insider tipy
- Skip the main axis buildings between 11 AM and 2 PM when tour groups pack them tight, explore the side gardens instead.
- Head to the western garden building complex for the quietest courtyards and that original 1930s elevator most visitors miss.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes, the compound is enormous and you'll log serious steps across stone pathways and garden bridges.
- Bring your passport, foreign visitors need it for ticket purchase at the gate.
