Presidential Palace of Nanjing, Palace and history museum in Xuanwu District, Nanjing, China

The Presidential Palace of Nanjing is a historic government compound on Changjiang Road that now functions as a museum of modern Chinese history. The grounds include several pavilions, courtyards, and a classical garden with ponds and covered walkways that show different architectural styles from different eras.

The compound served as residence for the Taiping Heavenly Palace in the 19th century and later became the seat of government during the Republic of China. After 1949 the complex transformed into a history museum documenting the political changes of the 20th century.

The gate's three gold characters, 總統府, were mounted in May 1948, replacing the earlier 國民政府 sign with calligraphy by Zhou Zhongyue. The name Daxinggong survives at the nearby Metro Line 2 station, recalling the Qing detached palace. In 2005 KMT chairman Lien Chan visited and wrote "Peace and Struggle to Save the Earth"; in 2023 former ROC president Ma Ying-jeou toured the site.

Entry requires a security check at the main gate and visitors can explore the entire compound on foot with most people spending about two to three hours. Signage is in Chinese and English and audio guides are available at the entrance.

The compound houses an underground tunnel built during the republican era as an escape route for officials. The tunnel system connects several buildings and is now open to visitors as part of the museum tour.
