Familiar with Nanjing, you will definitely wonder, how is the airport in Nanjing in the Ming Palace?
In fact, in 1927, in order to improve the air capacity of the capital, the Nationalist government established China's first military airport on the site of the Ming Palace, named "Ming Palace Airport", which played an important role in China's modern history.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Nanjing's urban construction expanded, and the Ming Palace Airport was rebuilt and abandoned in 1956.
Kempinski Hotel Nanjing is located next to the Airport of the Ming Palace, and his Chinese restaurant "Jin Kai Lou" and Western restaurant "Frida" share a small building in the Republic of China, that is, the Pilots Club of that year.
