Hello everyone:

Now we will visit the famous tourist site in Nanjing——the Presidential Palace and understand its history.

The Presidential Palace is located at 292 Changjiang Road. Up to now it is over six hundred years old. It was constructed as the Marquis Guide’s Residence and then Prince Han’s Residence in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. It successively became the Official residences of Liangjiang Viceroys in the Qing Dynasty. The Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong often used here as their temporary Dwelling Palace when they made inspection tours of South China.

During the period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan erected a large-scale Heavenly King’s Palace in the compound of the Liangjiang

viceroy’s Official Residence.

Opposite to the gate of the palace across the street is the Screen Wall. Built in 1930, the Gate Tower is a two-storeyed building with three arch-gates in an imitation of ancient Rome style. It used to be the guardroom during the period of the Republic of China.

The Palace of Heavenly King, surrounded by the two walls, is found right at the entrance of the gate. The area within the outer wall was called “The City of Sun”，while that within the main inner wall was called “The city of the Golden Dragon”.There were many grand buildings within the two walls. On both sides of the main hall were gardens. The palace is newly restored, including the study, throne and imperial harem. In addition, the history of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is on exhibition here.

voyagers through Bangladesh Bay and the Malacca Strait to China’s Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Huangzhou, Yangzhou and other cities where many of them settled down and married the local women who later gave birth to babies who then became Moslems.
