ROYAL REBUILD
Having been the home of one key court official and later, two princes, it is where half of Qing Dynasty history seems to be hidden, and even a glance at the remnants will tell visitors that Prince Gong's Palace was an impressive place.

Palace past revisited
There is a Chinese saying that the Palace of Prince Gong hides half of Qing Dynasty history (1644-1911) since it is deeply connected with the politics of the dynasty.
