🏛️【Nanjing Must-See】A 70+ Seniors' Guide to a Slow-Night Tour of the Presidential Palace! The Most Comfortable Way to Take Your Elderly

I thought I could finish the tour in an hour, but I ended up spending a full three hours and still felt like I wanted more! 🌟 Experience beyond expectations ✅ Continuous historical exhibition halls: From the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the Republic of China, each courtyard has a themed exhibition. ✅ Stunning large back garden: Jiangnan gardens and Western-style fountains, perfect for photos in cheongsam. ✅ Hidden photo spots: Vintage telephone in the Presidential Office, old filing cabinets in the Wenshuyuan 🗺️ Recommended Tour Route 1️⃣ Central Axis (Lobby → Auditorium → Presidential Office) 2️⃣ East Garden (Taiping Heavenly Kingdom History Exhibition) 3️⃣ West Garden (Former Executive Yuan Site + the beautiful Xuyuan Garden) 4️⃣ Cultural and Creative Street Exit (Remember to leave time!) 🛍️ Don't miss out after leaving the museum 📍 1912 Cultural and Creative Street: - A popular cafe hidden in a Republican-style building 📍 Nearby museums: - Six Dynasties Museum (5-minute walk) - Jiangning Weaving Museum (8-minute walk) 💡 Useful Tips ⌚ Suggested duration: 3 hours (long lines during peak season) 🎫 Admission: 35 yuan, half price for students (remember to bring ID) 🚇 Directly accessible from Daxinggong Station on Metro Lines 2/3 📸 Best photo spots: The Stone Boat and Sunset Pavilion in the West Garden The most surprising thing was the Cultural and Creative Street at the exit. I bought a Republican-era notebook and filled it with stamps. It was more memorable than the ticket price! #Republic of China Period #In-depth Cultural Experience #Historical Attractions #Best Places to Visit in August 2025 #Nanjing #Nanjing Travel #Nanjing Attractions #Nanjing Travel Guide #Presidential Palace #Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai #Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai Tours
