Prince Kung's Mansion Half-Day Tour in Beijing (Morning/Afternoon, Including Admission Ticket, 2.5-Hour Guided Tour)
About this experience
The design of Prince Gong's Mansion features characteristics of Chinese gardens and princely residences, making it exceptionally grand and magnificent. Its studies, rooms, verandas, and courtyards are intricately arranged, creating a serene and elegant landscape. It shares many similarities with Rongguo Mansion and Grand View Garden described in "Dream of the Red Chamber." According to a textual researcher, Prince Gong's Mansion was where Cao Xueqin experienced life and gathered material when writing "Dream of the Red Chamber." The garden, however, was consciously designed and built by Prince Gong Yixin, who later enjoyed reading "Dream of the Red Chamber," to resemble Grand View Garden. The mansion is open for two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and private English tours are available, ensuring no language barriers for visitors to explore the princely residence.
