Great Hall of the People
The Great Hall of the People is the political hub of Beijing and home of the National People's Congress. Every year, in March, the Great Hall of the People plays host to the "liang hui" (literally means "two meetings") event, where both the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the National People's Congress (NPC) meet in sessions lasting for two to three weeks at the Great Auditorium. The Communist Party of China (CPC) also holds its National Congress every five years in the Great Hall of the People.
Xu Garden
In January 1912, when the provisional government of the Republic of China was set up in Nanjing, Xu Garden became the office and residence of the provisional president, Sun Yat-sen. The garden was used to house the offices of the National Revolutionary Army, Military Affairs Commission and Bureau of Investigation and Statistics after the government of the Republic of China was formally established in Nanjing in April 1927.
