I would have liked some more information about the history in English. It was important to see this important part of history and what happened when the Japanese were there.

In this historic city, this place is a must visit to get a handful glimpse of chinese history. For me, that already learn a bit about chinese history since I was little, from the story that my father told me, it did bring back those childhood memory of my time with dad.

Didn't think this was anything special. Some of the buildings were just rooms with tables and chairs in them with no other props. Seeing old offices was OK. Gardens were small.

This is an Excellent piece of Nanjing History...Well preserved Palace with lots of photos from the historical events in the Presidential palace....It is a very good place to get a glimpse of History from China..

In a city full of historic sites, the Presidential Palace was, oddly enough, one of my favorites. Centuries are telescoped and stuffed into this one place, from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, and Mao. The vintage 30's and 40's offices could be movie sets.

Although it is a little excessive at times the Presidential Palace recounts in almost every room the rise to power of Sun Yat Sen and the dramatic events in the early 20th century that shaped modern China. The palace is set in attractive gardens alongside small lakes.

This is the rather large home used bythe founders of thr republic for conducting the business of running the country. It was lso where foreign dignitaries were received.

We travelled to Nanjing on CRT train from Bengbu. The Presidential Palace is different in that it deals with more recent history of China. A typical Chinese tourist destination with many tour groups but well worth the effort. Within easy walking distance from city centre and subway. You can even have your photo taken with a Sun Yat Sen lookalike.

For those history buffs, a visit to this place is a must. However, some exhibits are only in chinese so will be a challenge for westerners.
