Natural Scenery: A Hidden Oasis

Step into Presidential Palace-East Garden and you’ll forget you’re in a bustling city. This peaceful garden blends Chinese landscaping traditions with modern touches. Wander under ancient pine trees, stroll along winding paths by a muddy-green pond, and spot turtles sunbathing on rocks. In spring, cherry blossoms frame the pavilions, while autumn paints the garden with red and gold maple leaves. The centerpiece? A traditional Chinese pavilion overlooking lotus flowers—perfect for photo ops.
