Prince Kung's Palace is one of the best-preserved princely residences from the Qing Dynasty. The complex consists of two main sections: the residential area and the garden. The residential area is further divided into three sections — the central, eastern, and western sections. The central section contains the principal structures, including the main gate, the Courtyard of Lions (狮子院), and Yinan Hall (银安殿). Behind the buildings lies a garden, known as "Cuijin Garden" (萃锦园), which brings together the finest features of classical Chinese garden design.
