Prince Gong's Mansion
In the southwest corner of the scenic Shichahai in Beijing, there is a long, quiet street shaded by green willows. In this street, there is a prince's mansion, which is the most intact Prince Gong's Mansion among the existing prince's mansions. The predecessor of Prince Gong's Mansion was the residence of Heshen, a powerful official in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and the residence of Yonglin, the younger brother of Emperor Jiaqing. As the residence of a prince in the Qing Dynasty, Prince Gong's Mansion has a regular architectural layout, excellent craftsmanship, and staggered pavilions, which fully reflects the glorious and wealthy style of the royal family and the elegant and simple charm of the people. Prince Gong's Mansion consists of two parts: the mansion and the garden. It is about 330 meters long from north to south and more than 180 meters wide from east to west. It covers an area of about 61,120 square meters, of which the mansion covers 32,260 square meters and the garden covers 28,860 square meters. The mansion buildings are divided into three roads: east, middle and west. Each road from south to north is composed of multiple courtyards with a strict central axis running through it. The main buildings in the middle road are Yin'an Hall and Jiale Hall. The roof of the hall is made of green glazed tiles, which shows the majesty of the middle road and also reflects the prince's status. The main house in the front yard of the east road is called Duofuxuan. There is a wisteria that has grown for more than 200 years in front of the hall. It is still growing well today, which is extremely rare in Beijing. The main house in the back yard of the east road is called "Ledao Hall", which was the living place of Prince Gong Yixin. The quadrangle of the west road is relatively small and exquisite, and the main buildings are Baoguang Room and Xijinzhai. The masterpiece is the tall and imposing Xijinzhai. There are exquisitely carved nanmu partitions in the hall, which are the style of Heshen imitating the Ningshou Palace in the Forbidden City (this is one of the "twenty major crimes" for Heshen's extravagance and excessiveness). At the deepest part of the mansion, there is a two-story rear building, which is 156 meters long from east to west. There are 88 windows on the back wall and 108 rooms inside, commonly known as "99 and a half rooms", which means "full when full" in Taoism.
