A 600-word travelogue composition: Visiting the Presidential Palace

When it comes to the Presidential Palace, everyone will definitely think of this scene: clean and luxurious bedrooms, quiet gardens, magnificent doors, elegant and high-end offices? But, let me tell you now, the Presidential Palace in Nanjing is not Like this.

The Presidential Palace is located at No. 292 Changjiang Road. It is very close to the hotel where I am staying. It only takes 10-15 minutes to walk. It is a museum of modern Chinese history sites, a national key cultural relics protection unit, and a national 4A-level scenic spot.

The gate of the Presidential Palace is very grand, and there are guards at the door! One can imagine how safe Chiang Kai-shek was back then! Walking into the gate, a square is displayed in front of everyone. The square is very large, about 800 square meters.

Further forward is the office building. From the outside, it's not very high and the walls are earthy yellow. Entering the office building, you will find offices, conference rooms, and reception rooms of various sizes along the way. Of course, the most popular one is Chiang Kai-shek’s office. Walked in and took a look, wow! The walls were covered with paintings, depicting figures, flowers, plants, and landscapes. No two of so many paintings were the same, which made me dazzled. There is a desk lamp in the upper right corner of Chiang Kai-shek's desk, paper and pens in the middle, and a large stack of folders in the upper left corner. It seems that Chiang Kai-shek is very busy!

When I came down again, I went to see the "boss" in the conference room. There was a big table in the middle of the room, and two calligraphy works hung on the wall. The fonts were strong and powerful. Looking at the signature, it turned out to be Chiang Kai-shek wrote it himself. Unexpectedly, he was also a calligrapher! There are four leather sofas on both sides of the table, and the conference room is relatively simple.

Chiang Kai-shek’s assistants received the best treatment! The office is next door to his. The walls of the office are covered with calligraphy works, so many works, no two are the same. In the middle of the office is a desk, with files on both sides of the desk, a desk lamp in the middle of the files, and paper and pens in the middle of the desk. The assistant seems to be busier than Chiang Kai-shek! But the number of visitors here is only at the level of Tanhua!

Finally, I visited the quiet garden, listened to the sound of flowing water, and walked across small bridges. This is where the president lived and worked before liberation, but now it is open to everyone to visit. What a tremendous change!

It not only subverted my view on the luxury of the presidential palace, but also made me feel that the presidential palace can also be like this!
