Panoramic view of My Linh Cung viewed from above. In Nanjing, China has a very famous tourist destination that is My Linh Palace, also known as My Linh Palace. This is an architectural building located in the complex of Ton Trung Son tomb. Anecdotally, this magnificent palace is a gift that Tuong Gioi Thach gave his wife, Tong My Linh, on his birthday to show his love. Visitors to Nanjing often admire the beauty of the French field corn (a type of tree belonging to the Xiaoten family) because they can be found everywhere in the city. But few people know, hiding behind the history of those ancient trees is a romantic love story. According to anecdotes, Tong My Linh was extremely fond of this plant, so Tuong Gioi Thach ordered a series of French corn plants in the city before getting married to win the hearts of the beautiful people. The rows of old maize trees have been closed to nearly a hundred years. More specifically, these rows of cornflowers are also planted in the shape of a giant necklace and the central location is the residence of the couple Tuong Gioi Thach – My Linh Cung. Looking down from above the population is like a necklace with the highlight of a giant blue diamond. In the fall, when the leaves of the old cornflowers turn bright yellow, the majestic palace is in the middle. The fall of golden leaves makes the mansion stand out even more. My Linh palace is located on the top of Tieu Hong mountain in Nanjing, was started from 1931 until 1936 to complete. At the time of construction, the most famous overseas architects were invited to design this mansion in a style that combines classical Chinese architecture and modern Western style. My Linh Cung moment has just been completed. It was Tong My Linh who came up with the idea and gave many suggestions to change the design and decoration of the building. Once completed, the mansion officially named the Presidential Palace of the National Citizen Government. However, it is said that this building is a gift that Tuong Gioi Thach gave to his wife, so people often call this place My Linh Cung. The magnificent mansion is said to be a gift from Chiang Kai-shek to his wife. My Linh palace is designed with three floors. The first floor is the nest room – where the couple Chiang Gioi Thach welcomes guests of the country and holds parties, the second floor is the bedroom and the study room, the third floor is a small chapel. The whole building was designed to be roofed with Thanh Thanh Ly – a special type of tile that was previously only used by nobles or mandarins. Not only that, there are more than 1000 phoenixes carved on the porch of the building, this is a special feature that makes this place unique architecture in China. In addition, the palace has a total of 34 pillars, all of which are built from marble. Each pillar is engraved with a sophisticated dragon phoenix image, creating an extremely lavish feeling. Therefore, this place is also known with the beautiful name “The First Villa of the Far East”. Winter snow falls white, giving this place a different beauty. The initial budget approved for the construction of My Linh palace was 260,000 ounces of silver, but the cost was eventually greatly increased, up to 320,000 pounds – a huge number at that time. The reason is that during construction, Tong My Linh has repeatedly proposed to amend many items. The interior décor and bathroom tiles have been changed many times, and the balcony has been demolished for renovation. The design and layout of a number of bedrooms, large and small dining rooms, two letter rooms and many other ancillary works are reviewed and assessed by Tong My Linh one by one, until she is satisfied. Because of Tong My Linh’s sophisticated decorative design requirements, it took the villa 6 years to complete. Through the ups and downs of history, My Linh Cung was quite destroyed and damaged. However, in 2012 it was renovated according to the original design. Today, My Linh Cung becomes a famous tourist destination in Nanjing, China, attracting a lot of tourists to visit. In addition to admiring the beauty of the magnificent mansion, visitors can not help admiring the romantic love story behind this lavish palace.
