OMG | A hidden love story: Meiling Palace

A hidden gem of the Zhongshan Mountain, the former Nationalist Party Chairman Residence, Meiling Palace, catches tourists by its historical setting, grand architecture and attention to details. It was completed in 1934 under the direction of Chiang Kai-Shek who, many believe, gave this as a gift to his wife, the influential and dignified Soong May-ling. It garners much attention when aerial photos reveal that the Palace looks like an emerald set in a necklace, with the jade roof tiles acting as the stone and the trees along the sprawling driveway playing the part of the chain.
