Explore the Republic-era architecture surrounded by plane trees: Nanjing Meiling Palace.

Nanjing Meiling Palace is adorned with French plane trees, a favorite of Soong Mei-ling. Chiang Kai-shek planted these trees throughout Nanjing, leading to the saying, 'One plane tree, beautiful, planted all over Nanjing,' symbolizing the love story of the Chiang couple. Walking into Meiling Palace, you can stroll among these century-old French plane trees, tall, sturdy, and majestic, feeling Soong Mei-ling's affection for them. The avenue leading to Meiling Palace is lined with these trees, resembling a necklace around the palace. The green glazed tile roof shines like a jewel. Meiling Palace is a palace-style building with carved beams and painted rafters, flying eaves, and upturned corners. It has one underground floor and three above-ground floors, with over a thousand phoenix carvings. The interior boasts luxurious American-style decorations, full of the era's charm and lifestyle.

Meiling Palace is one of the attractions to go to Nanjing this summer. In fact, I wanted to go very early, and I bought a coupon to play. I took the battery car and sent it directly to the door of Meiling Palace. I remember it was 10 yuan, on the Xiaohong Mountain in the Zhongshan Scenic Area of Xuanwu District. The First Villa in the Far East, completed in the early 1930s, is the place where Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling often rest and vacation. The building looks a bit old but well maintained, with a three-story mountain-style palace-style building covered with green glazed tiles. Looking at the introduction, I said that there are more than 1,000 phoenixes carved on the glazed tiles on the house. It is really hard work. The surrounding greenery is very good, with towering trees and lush vegetation. From the first floor, the ground floor is the reception room, the secretary's office, etc. The west side of the second floor is the reception room and living room, and the east side is the bedroom of Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling. One room, one room, the restaurant and the kitchen are my favorite. Of course, their bathroom is very nice, very westernized, and there is a small chapel inside. The most famous is actually overlooking the overall design in the air. The pearl necklace is embellished with emeralds. It is really very image. There are coffee places and commissaries upstairs. It may be better to have no commissary.
