The official 2-hour essence route is recommended, and there is no detour in order: ###[Part 1: Mansion Area (See the Level and Life of the Prince's Mansion) ] Entering from the first palace gate, the mansion is divided into three roads: middle, east and west, and stroll according to the central axis: 1. ** First Palace Gate → Yin'an Hall ** - Yin'an Hall is the main hall of the palace. The green glazed tile roof highlights the rank of the prince, which is equivalent to the "Golden Palace" of the palace. It is used to hold major celebrations and receive officials. Don't miss the historical exhibition of the palace in the hall 2. ** Gale Hall ** - The back hall of the middle road is the sacrificial place of the palace 3. ** East Road: Duofu Xuan → Ledao Hall ** - Duofu Xuan is the place where Prince Gong meets guests, and Ledao Hall is the living place of Yi 4. ** West Road: Baoguang Room → Tin Jinzhai ** ⭐ must see - Xijinzhai is the most "expensive" building in King Gong's Mansion! It was built by Heshen imitating the Ningshou Palace in the Forbidden City, and the golden nanmu partition carvings are extremely exquisite. This is also one of the "twenty deadly sins" that Heshen was given to die for (transgression regulations) 5. ** Rear hood ** ⭐ must see - The "Treasure Building" in the deepest part of the mansion, 156 meters long from east to west, with a total of 108 rooms (commonly known as "99 and a half rooms"), and 88 windows with different shapes on the back wall. It is said that Heshen used the shape of the windows to distinguish the types of treasures hidden ###[Part 2: Garden (Cuijin Garden, looking at the royal garden and blessing culture) ] Entering the garden from the back cover is also divided into three ways: 1. ** Western Gate ** ⭐ clock in - The main entrance of the garden, the white marble western-style stone arch, and the forehead is engraved with "Jinghan Taikoo" and "Xiuyi Hengchun", which is one of the three wonders of King Gong's Mansion 2. ** Dulefeng → Bat Pond ** - The Taihu stone "Dulefeng" directly opposite the door has the function of a shadow wall; the bat-shaped pool "Bat Pool" at the back is planted with elm trees, and the elm money falls into the pool, which means "double harvest of wealth and happiness" 3. ** An Shantang → Liu Cup Pavilion ** - An Shantang is the main hall of Garden Middle Road, and the Liucup Pavilion is an elegant place that imitates the ancients' "curved water flow" 4. ** Grand Theater ** ⭐ must see - One of the three wonders of Prince Gong's mansion, a closed theater, which can make the audience hear the sound clearly without a stereo. The place where the prince's mansion listened to the play in the past is now occasionally performed 5. ** Fu monument ** ⭐ core point - Hidden in the secret cloud cave of Dicui Rock, it is the "first blessing in the world" of Kangxi's imperial pen, which implies "many sons, many talents, many fields, many longevity, and many blessings". The five blessings are one, and it is the "treasure of the town house" of King Gong's mansion. 6. ** Platform → Bat Hall → Fangtang Waterfront ** - Climb the "Stepping Qingyun Road" rockery to the platform overlooking the garden; the bat hall is shaped like a bat, echoing the Fu culture; finally visit the Fangtang Waterhouse to see the water scenery 7. ** Yuguan → Arrow Road Garden ** - Yuguan is a small door in the garden that imitates the Great Wall, symbolizing the ancestral motto of Emperor Qing "Don't forget outside the customs" --- Tips 💡 play 1. ** Be sure to listen to the explanation! ** There are many historical and architectural regulations of King Gong's Mansion, and visiting without explanation can easily become "looking at the old house": you can rent an official electronic guide, or watch the free explanation route of the official account in advance, don't believe the "secret news of Heshen" gimmick of the wild guide tour at the door 2. ** Don't just stare at Heshen **: This house has lived in Heshen, Princess Heshen, Prince Yonglin of Qing, and Prince Gong Yi. Prince Gong Yi is the core figure of the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty, and his story is the key to "half of Qing history" 3. ** Don't get together and touch the blessing monument **: The monument is a cultural relic, visit it in a civilized manner, just queue up to take pictures, don't squeeze and touch it 4. ** Wear comfortable shoes **: There are many stone roads in the park, you need to walk for more than 2 hours 5. ** Play in series around **: After visiting Prince Gong's Mansion, you can walk to Shichahai, Yandai Xiejie, Nanluogu Lane, and eat old Beijing food on the way - Recommended nearby cuisine: Fangzhichang 69 fried noodles (30 per capita), Kikuer family braised pork rice (50 per capita), Nanmen shabu meat (100 per capita) --- ##⚠️ pit avoidance reminder - Don't buy the "blessing around" sold at the door, the official merchandise store is more reliable in the park - Closed on Monday, don't run empty! If you encounter temporary closures (such as events, repairs), read the official account announcement in advance, or call the consultation number 010-83288149 to confirm - During peak season (holidays, weekends), it is recommended to enter the museum at 8:30. The experience is good with few people. After 10 o'clock, there will be a large influx of tour groups.
