Prince Gong's Mansion: Half of the History of the Qing Dynasty

Address: No. 17, Qianhai West Street, Xicheng District, Beijing Attraction introduction: Prince Gong's Mansion is the largest and most luxurious Qing Dynasty official residence in the courtyard style in Beijing. It is listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit. In the fourth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, He Shen was arrested for corruption and his home was confiscated. Later Jiaqing gave this house to his younger brother Qing Wang Yonglin. However, during the Xianfeng Dynasty, Xianfeng gave the land to his sixth brother, Prince Gong Yixin, and it was called Prince Gong's Mansion from then on. The three buildings on Prince Gong's Fu Zhong Road are the main body of the mansion, namely the main hall, the back hall and the extension building. The extension building is 160 meters long from east to west and has more than 40 houses. There are three courtyards on the East Road and West Road each, echoing the buildings on the Middle Road. Opening hours: peak season (April 1-October 31) 8:00-17:00; low season (November 1-March 31 of the following year) 9:00-16:00. The museum will be closed on Mondays for renovations throughout the year except for statutory holidays and summer vacation (July 1st to August 31st) (in case of major events or special events, the opening hours will be arranged separately).

Retired personnel and disabled people with valid IDs are free of charge (you need to bring your IDs to the visitor center to exchange for free admission tickets); students of large, medium and small schools, active military personnel and the elderly with valid IDs are discounted at half price. Travel experience: Prince Gong’s Mansion can be said to be the best-preserved and largest Prince Gong’s Mansion in Beijing.

It is worth coming here to see why it is known as the most luxurious house. There is a reason. The charm contained in it is worth visiting and tasting in person.
