"Beijing Prince Gong's Mansion, a legendary story you can't miss"

#Beijing Attractions Prince Gong's Mansion is located near Shichahai, surrounded by green trees and Beijing's old alleys. It is said to be built on the water dragon vein of the entire Beijing. It will prosper when it encounters water. It is a great place that cannot be missed to seek wealth and fortune. Originally, it was Heshen, a favorite of Emperor Qianlong, whose mansion was granted to the royal family and was named Prince Gong's Mansion from then on. . Prince Gong's Mansion has "three wonders and one treasure". Don't miss it when you visit. For friends who are walking around without explanation, there are many red hat tour groups in Prince Gong's Mansion. If you are not good at directions, just follow the guides with red hats or holding pennants. They visit the highlights and you can hear many wonderful legendary stories. It is hard not to listen to them. There are really many tour groups~ . 🟡One must-see: rear building It is said to be Heshen’s “treasure house”. Its grand scale is second to none among the royal palaces in the capital, with a total of more than one hundred rooms. 🟡Second unique feature: Western Gate It was built in imitation of the Dafahai Gate of the Old Summer Palace. The Rococo-style carved stone arch gate is rare. The Western-style building is matched with the Chinese-style stone plaque, which is a perfect combination of Chinese and Western styles. There were only three doors of this style in Beijing at that time, but the only one that has been well preserved to this day is the one in Prince Gong’s Mansion. 🟡Three wonders: Grand Theater It is said to be the only fully enclosed palace theater in my country. It is built with special sound-collecting wood, and combined with the internal structure, the sound can "linger in the ears for three days". One treasure: the stele with the character "Fu" The stele with the word "Fu" inscribed in the Miyun Cave in the rockery was written by Emperor Kangxi himself. This stone tablet is called "The No. 1 Blessing in the World". The character "福" is cleverly conceived. The stroke in the upper right corner looks like the character "多", and a closer look at other strokes reveals the characters "子", "才", "田", "寿" and "福". When combined with the character "多", it means many children, more talents, more fields, more longevity and more blessings. The whole "Fu" character is long and thin, which means "longevity and happiness". . There are also Yin'an Hall, Bat Pond, Baoguang Room, Duofu Pavilion, Dule Peak, Yaoyue Platform, etc. You can take photos and visit according to your own time. ▫▫▫▫ ⓘ ⓝ ⓕ ⓞ ▫▫▫▫ Place name: Prince Gong's Mansion Time: 08:30-17:00 Closed on Mondays Tickets: 40
