In Beijing, a city where ancient and modern blend, there is a place that holds half of the Qing Dynasty's history

🏰 In Beijing, a city where ancient and modern blend, there is a place that holds the profound history of the Qing Dynasty—that is Prince Gong's Mansion. Walking through the ancient courtyards, it feels as if you can hear the echoes of history and sense the aura of that era. 🕗 Morning bells and evening drums, Prince Gong's Mansion awaits visitors. Opening hours: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, remember it is closed every Monday! 📍 Location: No. 17, Qianhai West Street, Shichahai Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, the heart of the capital. 🎟️ Tickets: Only 40 yuan, just make a reservation to start your journey through time. 🗣️ Two options for guided tours: Audio guides to free your hands, rental fee is only 30 yuan; official group tours are more cost-effective, starting at 40 yuan per person, with a group of 15, enjoy a deeper historical and cultural experience. 🔑 Prince Gong's Mansion—the largest mansion of the Qing Dynasty, witnessing the historical changes from Heshen to Yixin. Every brick and tile, every carving, is engraved with historical marks. 🌿 The Silver Peace Hall and Jiale Hall in the central route carry the sacrificial culture of the ancients; the East Route's Duofu Pavilion and Ledao Hall combine life and art. Centuries-old wisteria and towering ancient trees make people stop and ponder. ✨ The West Route's Baoguang Room and Xijin Studio, exquisite small courtyards, and the carvings in the Nanmu Hall are magnificent. The rear building—the Treasure Building, with 44 assorted windows, symbolizes wealth and is also a crystallization of wisdom. 🐉 Feng Shui location, Prince Gong's Mansion is located on the water dragon vein, known as the "Dragon's Abdomen," gathering the wealth of the capital, which is the secret to it being the most "prosperous" place. 📖 Since the abdication of the Qing Emperor in 1912, Prince Gong's Mansion became private property, went through auctions, school usage, and finally was protected in New China, becoming an open museum. After 28 years of restoration, Prince Gong's Mansion has been revitalized, becoming a national 5A-level tourist attraction and a national protected unit. 🌟 This place is not only a holy land for history enthusiasts but also an indelible cultural mark in the hearts of everyone who steps through this door. Come and check-in, and experience a journey through time and space!
