Prince Gong's Mansion, located in the western part of central Beijing, is one of the best-preserved imperial mansions of the Qing Dynasty. It was constructed in 1777 and originally belonged to Heshen, a favored official of Emperor Qianlong. The mansion later became the residence of Prince Gong, the sixth son of Emperor Daoguang, after Heshen fell from grace. The complex covers approximately 60,000 square meters and consists of grand courtyards, beautiful gardens, and intricate architectural details that exemplify traditional Chinese design.
