The best-preserved grand residence of the Qing dynasty, once home to the powerful official Heshen and later Prince Gong, near Houhai lake. Its elaborate courtyards and classical garden are a window into aristocratic Beijing life. It gets busy with tour groups, so go early to enjoy the quieter garden paths.
