Location & How to Get There
The Presidential Palace Office Area sits in the heart of Nanjing’s Xuanwu District, right on Changjiang Road 292. This spot is super easy to reach—it’s a 5-minute walk from Daxinggong Station (Line 2 or 3) or a quick taxi ride from Nanjing South Station (about 10 minutes). If you’re driving, there’s a parking lot nearby, but it gets busy on weekends. The area feels like old Nanjing meets modern hustle, with colonial-era buildings next to trendy cafes.
Natural Scenery
Don’t expect mountains or lakes here, but the Presidential Palace Office Area has its own charm. There’s a neat mix of manicured gardens with bonsai trees, stone paths, and little ponds with koi fish. In spring, cherry blossoms light up the courtyard, and autumn brings golden ginkgo leaves. It’s peaceful enough to take a break from sightseeing, but still buzzing with history all around.
