Chiang Kai-shek’s Hot Spring Villa is located at No. 3 Tangquan Road, Tangshan Town, 28 kilometers away from Nanjing City. Surrounded by rolling hills, shaded by green trees, and filled with the fragrance of flowers and the sounds of birds, the area boasts natural hot springs. Nearby attractions include the Yangshan Stele, the Tangshan Caves where the ‘Nanjing Man’ once lived, the exquisite Anki Lake, and the Longchang Temple. This place has been a向往之地 for celebrities and scholars throughout history.
The villa is a blend of Chinese and Western architecture, exuding solemn elegance, and consists of two levels above ground and one below. Upon entering, the second floor features a reception room, a rest room, and a chess room; the basement houses the ‘Mandarin Duck Bath’ for Mr. and Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek, a bath for security officers, and a bath for attendants. On holidays, the Chiang couple would drive to the villa with their staff for a relaxing soak. Time passes, but the villa has maintained its original architectural style.
Now, after several renovations and improvements, the villa’s environment has been beautified and its facilities updated, making the courtyard even more serene and beautiful in spring. It is now open to the public as a tourist attraction, allowing visitors to appreciate its charm and elegance. Opening hours are from 09:00 to 12:00 and from 13:30 to 17:00 all year round. There are two admission times: the morning session ends at 12:00 and the afternoon session ends at 17:00. The specific operating status depends on the daily opening conditions.
