As the saying goes, Xi'an encapsulates three thousand years of Chinese history and Beijing, one thousand. But if you want to see what China went through during its turbulent times in the 20th century, visit Tianjin, which neighbors Beijing.
One of the best places to relive the stormy past is Prince Qing's Mansion, also known as Qingwangfu, which was home to generations of people, from a former imperial eunuch to a prince. It also housed government offices.
With a newly renovated mansion, a spacious garden, a small museum and a townhouse boutique hotel, Prince Qing's Mansion is a place to take a peek into the past and savor the moments.
