Often hailed as ‘half the history of the Republic of China’, this area features tall plane trees lining both sides of the street, casting a dappled pattern of light and shadow. Scattered along the streets are over a hundred mansions belonging to prominent figures and diplomatic residences from the Republic of China era, with each historic building harbouring its own story. Admission is free, making it the perfect spot to take a leisurely ride on a shared bicycle – the most immersive way to experience Nanjing’s ‘Republic of China-era charm’.
