Yihe Mansion|Check in for the Republic of China style
|Check in for the Republic of China style.🏯In 1927, Nanjing became the capital of the National Government, and from this year on, its cityscape began to change significantly. As the political center at that time, it also left many historical marks.
✔️Leaving the Baiziting Historical and Cultural Block, we came to Yihe Mansion on Jiangsu Road. This was a gathering place for the dignitaries of the Republic of China. Now it has been upgraded and activated, and has become a place for the public to relax and entertain. It mainly provides hotels, restaurants, tea drinks and other services. More people regard it as a check-in point for the Republic of China style.
✔️There is a spire church at the intersection, which is the Jiangsu Road Church of Christianity. Because it is out of place with the surrounding buildings, it seems to have become a landmark here. Across the street is a Red Mansion, which is probably a chain in Nanjing, and I have seen it in several places.
✔️Walking into this Red Mansion, outside is a small art and culture space, inside is a restaurant, but it is not connected to Yihe Mansion. I ordered a cup of mocha and took a rest. Leaving the art and culture space, go out and turn left, see tourists taking pictures in the wall, and ask to know that the gate is not far ahead.
✔️Entering Yihe Mansion, I suddenly felt much quieter, and it was indeed a good place to be quiet in the midst of noise. Inside, there are 26 small Western-style buildings, all of which are villas built during the Republic of China. These small Western-style buildings have different styles, all of which are single-family designs. The floor height is basically two or two and a half floors. The roof is covered with red tiles, and the walls are different. There are red bricks and green bricks, as well as cement walls. I guess the paint was painted during subsequent maintenance. In short, under the cover of green trees, each small building looks very unique.
✔️If you observe carefully, you will find that there are nameplates hanging on the walls of the small buildings, which indicate the former owners of this small building. Many of them are often appearing in the history of the Republic of China, such as Xue Yue, Chen Bulei, Huang Renlin and so on. Look carefully, there are electronic locks on the doors, it turns out that some of them have been transformed into hotels. If you can stay here for one night, it will definitely be a good experience.
✔️The Yihe Road Mansion District was the product of the "capital plan" at that time. There are 12 blocks distributed around Yihe Road, which is the so-called "upper class" residence. Now this Yihe Mansion is located in the twelfth district. Walking around inside, I also saw several restaurants, the main theme is also the nostalgic style of the Republic of China. It's a pity that I'm traveling alone, otherwise I must go in and experience it.

If you come from Jiming Temple, you can take the subway, but let's walk for ten minutes. The embassy area of Nanjing was the capital of Nanjing. Here are basically girls who bring girlfriends to take pictures.
The Yihe Road is very tasteful, but the "Red Mansion Coffee" shop is very not recommended. The small one is very cramped. I want to look at the garden next to it and I am immediately stopped by the waiter. Moreover, as a cafe, there is no square sugar! Avoid the pit, this cafe is not worth it!
Located in the center of Nanjing, it is enough to go around for an hour or two. They are all villas in the style of the Republic of China. There are also restaurants and hotels in operation, and you can experience it if you are not too expensive. When I went there, I also ran into the wedding venue. It was really good to have a wedding here 2333.
A few years ago, I visited Xue Yue's former residence, but the door was closed, so was the residence around me. I only had a glimpse in the cracks of bricks and leaking windows. I deeply regretted that I could not get in. This year, during the Qingming Festival, I wanted to see the architecture of Nanjing and navigate to Xue Yue's former residence. I didn't expect to have a big surprise. It was all open here, and there was also a courtyard. The courtyard, which connects these buildings with each other, becomes a group of flowing cultures, wandering in them, like being in the Republic of China, as if returning to which era, whether walking or sitting, reminds me of the male and female hosts of which era, I seem to brush past them, as if looking at them, sitting in the middle surrounded by the thick cultural background, and depositing in my heart. Full of historical moments, I can't extricate myself from it. I'll come to see you at the Yihe Mansion.
I have heard of "Yihe Road, half of the history of the Republic of China. " Although it's an exaggeration, everyone who passes through the Yihe Road knows that it's green and elegant. It's said that Zhang Shouren, a famous writer who lived along Yihe Road in the 1950s, called it "the most beautiful street in China." Here you can see the most primitive style of the Republic. Even with a little renovation, the appearance basically maintains the style of the Republic. The Yihe Road area retains the largest garden houses and foreign embassies in Nanjing during the Republic of China, as well as several former residences of celebrities, where you can feel the historical and cultural atmosphere of the Republic of China. You don't want to go to the crowded Confucius Temple, and you don't want to pile up to see museums. You might as well come here and enjoy a moment of quiet.
A road of Yihe, half of the history of the Republic of China. Yihe Road and Ninghai Road are clean and tidy streets, and the buildings of the Republic of China are scattered here. It's a very sentimental place. It gives people a very comfortable feeling to walk in it. Through these buildings, it seems that we can see the exquisite life of the Republic of China nearly a hundred years ago, which is still somewhat fascinating.
