Chaotian Palace, Imperial palace complex in Nanjing, China.
The Chaotian Palace spans 70,000 square meters and features traditional Chinese buildings with double-layer eaves and gable-and-hip roofs throughout the compound.
The palace grounds originated during the Zhou Dynasty as a metal casting site before becoming an imperial residence in 1384 under Ming Dynasty ruler Zhu Yuanzhang.
The Nanjing Municipal Museum within the palace houses more than 100,000 artifacts representing different periods of Chinese history through dedicated exhibition halls.
The palace stands two kilometers from central Nanjing and contains multiple structures including the Lingxing Gate, Dacheng Hall, and connected pavilions for visitors to explore.
The Maninsan Wall extends nearly 100 meters along the former Yundu Canal, displaying inscriptions of Confucian teachings about knowledge and moral principles.
