Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion

Huangcheng Xiangfu is located in Beiliu Town, Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. It is the former residence of Chen Tingjing, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and Minister of Personnel of the Qing Dynasty, the chief reviewer of Kangxi Dictionary, and the lecturer of the 35th year of Emperor Kangxi. The scenic area is divided into two cities, the inner and outer cities of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The outer city is the Qing Dynasty architecture, and the inner city is the Ming Dynasty architecture, with typical northern architectural features. It is one of the 5A scenic spots. The overall architecture is very distinctive, with historical culture and unique courtyards. You need to find a tour guide to explain it in order to have a deeper understanding. It is worth a visit.

The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion is the most popular attraction in Jincheng! The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion is a complex of official residences built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The inner city was built by Chen Changyan, the uncle of Chen Tingjing, in the sixth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1633) to avoid war, and the outer city was completed in the 42nd year of Kangxi (1703). In the 260 years from Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty to Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, there were 41 tribute students, 19 Juren, 9 Jinshi, and 6 Hanlin, which can be said to be a mass production of officials. This place was not originally called the Imperial City. The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion was originally named "Zhongdaozhuang". Later, because Emperor Kangxi stayed here twice, it was named "Imperial City".

In addition to the buildings, there are also performances to watch in the scenic area. Every morning at 09:30, there will be a "Large Opening Ceremony" performance in the square of the Imperial City Xiangfu Scenic Area. When Emperor Kangxi visited, Chen Tingjing presented the compiled Kangxi Dictionary, and the emperor awarded him the "Wutingshan Village" plaque. After watching the performance, you can feel the grandeur of the time.

Attached are the times of some other performances, please make sure to arrange your time to watch them. "The Eight-tone Concert of the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion", Cangbingdong Platform, 10:30, 11:20, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00. "The Music and Dance of the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion", Qilin Courtyard of the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion, 10:30 to 11:30, 13:30 to 17:00. "I Came from the Han Dynasty" Live Experience Drama, 12:30, 14:00, 15:30. In the evening, you can also watch the wonderful large-scale live drama "Return to the Prime Minister's Mansion".

Enter the gate of the scenic area, climb the stairs, first climb the city wall to the highest point, and then go down along the way.

The whole Xiangfu is ancient, majestic, and has strict walls, inner and outer cities, and a well-organized layout, reflecting harmony.

It follows the terrain of the mountain and changes with the changes in shape, with layers of buildings and courtyards arranged in an orderly manner, and cleverly combines Ming and Qing dynasty architecture.

Visitors here will be deeply shocked by the beautiful natural scenery and simple cultural landscape of the Imperial City Mansion...

We went to Shanxi at the end of November. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, the scenery was beautiful, and the people were beautiful.

Do you know what is magnificent?

Do you know what unique style is?

Do you know what a profound cultural heritage is?

Do you know what is rich in historical relics?

Well, if you want to know, this is the right place.

I have to say that Emperor Kangxi's teacher was really generous, haha~

There is also a garden dedicated to the ladies reciting poems, painting, playing chess and playing the piano. It is really enviable ~ It is so happy ~

Even now, even an outsider like me can appreciate these architectural monuments! The architecture in the north is not as exquisite and beautiful as that in the south, but it has a grand, simple and rich charm.

We reached the highest point of the Imperial City and saw many drums, which are used for performances. If you come here in winter, you must wear more clothes.

Due to lack of time, I only visited for half a day, so I didn’t have time to see the evening performances and night views.

I tried a small glass of wine for free at the bottom of Shanhe Building. It tasted pretty good. I think my dad would like it.

The performance of welcoming the emperor in the Imperial Palace was absolutely stunning!!!

Looking at the princesses, soldiers, ministers, and eunuchs in ancient costumes... everyone was very into the play! I have been attracted by him! The emperor is so cute.

The goods in the Ancient Culture Street are quite cheap. When I see so many things in front of me, I have a strong desire to buy them. Haha ~ Is it the same for everyone?

Finally, I bought a bag of Wu Gu's oil tea to take away. This is more practical! It's only a dozen yuan for a big bag~ The most important thing is that it tastes good!

I have been to Shanxi many times, but I never went into the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion because it was crowded. This time I passed by the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion on my way to the Northeast, and I made a special trip to stay here to avoid the crowds from travel agencies early in the morning. After seeing it, I finally understood the ins and outs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is not just a general mansion of Chen Tingjing.

Huangcheng Xiangfu is a national AAAAA-level scenic spot located in Beiliu Town, Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. Huangcheng Xiangfu has a total area of 36,000 square meters. It is the former residence of Chen Tingjing, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and Minister of Personnel of the Qing Dynasty, the chief reviewer of Kangxi Dictionary, and the lecturer of the 35th year of Emperor Kangxi's imperial lecture. It consists of the inner city, outer city, Ziyunqian and other parts. The Imperial Library is magnificent, the Zhongdaozhuang is majestic and spectacular, the Douzhuju Mansion is continuous, the Heshan Tower is majestic and steep, and the Cangbing Cave is layered and wonderful. It is a rare castle-style official residence complex in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is praised by experts as "the home of the first cultural giant in northern China."

Farmers in Shanxi grow millet. Natural, green, organic, pollution-free. Contains no additives or pigments. Dark yellow rice is healthier to eat, safer to eat than supermarket rice, and tastes better. A must-have for women during confinement, and a must-have supplementary food for babies. Free shipping for 5 kg. Contact us if you need it.

The scenic spot is great and worth seeing, especially after listening to the explanation~

The live performance "Dream Back to the Prime Minister's Mansion" in the evening is also recommended. I learned that the show was directed by the same director as "See Pingyao Again" after the owner of the Yulou Inn where I stayed recommended it. I like the format very much, so I immediately booked it to watch. The overall story and performance lighting were pleasant surprises. I felt that the ticket price was very worthwhile. I recommend it~ The actors are all great, and they worked hard in the evening! The performance time is about 8 pm to nearly 10 pm.



Transportation: Starting from Taiyuan, Ctrip can buy a direct intercity bus ticket for 70 yuan, which takes about 4-5 hours to Jincheng; then go to Jincheng Passenger Transport East Station, and there will be a bus to the Imperial City Xiangfu every 20-30 minutes, the ticket is 2 yuan, and the journey takes about 40-60 minutes. I wanted to join a group before, but I couldn't find a two-day tour. Most of them were one-day tours, so I spent a lot of time on the road. It would be best to drive by yourself.



Accommodation: There are inns near the Imperial City Mansion and Guoyu Ancient City. The prices of inns and houses are also very cheap. The inn owner and his family are very nice~

Huangcheng Xiangfu, located in Beiliu Town, Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, is adjacent to the Guoyu Ancient City Scenic Spot. Huangcheng Xiangfu is the former residence of Chen Qianjing, the teacher of Kangxi. It was built by the Chen family over 200 years, so there is no unified planning. It is not as regular and complete as the Wang Family Courtyard and Qiao Family Courtyard in Shanxi. The buildings are a bit messy, but the scale is large. In addition to the Heshan Building, the Young Lady Courtyard, the Censor's Mansion, etc., there are also garrison caves, and there are private armed forces. Formerly known as Zhongdao Village, Kangxi lived here twice when he came to Shanxi, and later changed it to Huangcheng Xiangfu. If it was called this name directly at that time, it would probably lose its head! Huangcheng Xiangfu is very close to the highway exit, and it will be there soon after getting off the highway. The ticket is 120, which also includes Huangcheng Xiangfu, Huangcheng Xiangfu Treasure Exhibition Hall, and Huangcheng Xiangfu Ecological Agriculture Area. The latter two places were not visited in time.

A representative of Shanxi compound culture, the performance is average, but it can divert the crowd

It's good, it's pretty good. There are so many courtyards, I was dizzy after walking around.

I passed by here halfway on my way back to Taiyuan from Henan. The scenery was nice and the service was okay. The entire Imperial City Xiangfu is so small that I could walk around it twice in one morning (including every nook and cranny). I didn't see the performance and didn't go to Xiangfu Villa, so I can't comment on it.

The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion is really worth a careful tour! Especially after reading the book "The Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty".

The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion is the only private mansion called "Imperial City". It is located in Beiliu Town, Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. It is the former residence of Chen Yanjing, a minister of the Qing Dynasty. The entire building is well preserved and magnificent, and it is worth a visit!

The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion is very big, and I got lost several times. I think it is much better than any other courtyard. Not only does it have many courtyards, but you can also feel its majesty and grandeur. When you come here, you don't need to waste money on those courtyards!

After entering the imperial city, we went directly to the top of the city wall and looked at the entire building. It was built according to the terrain, changing with the shape, with layers of buildings and courtyards, staggered and orderly, simple and solemn, thick and solid... It can truly be regarded as a model of architectural structure.

The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion is a good attraction. The scenic area is quite large. If you don't miss every room, it will take at least 4 hours. There is a rich Shanxi merchant culture and the architecture is quite imposing. It is worth a visit.

It takes about 1 hour by car from Jincheng to Huangcheng Xiangfu. It is a 5A-level scenic spot with a ticket price of 120 yuan per person.

Not many people know about the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion, but I believe everyone has heard of the "Kangxi Dictionary". The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion is the ancestral home of Chen Tingjing, the chief reviewer of the "Kangxi Dictionary", the teacher of Emperor Kangxi, and the Grand Secretary. It is a rare castle-style official residential complex from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

After visiting the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion for the entire day and night, I realized the importance of home...

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, it was the hometown of Chen Tingjing, a famous prime minister. The entire manor was built on the mountain, with ancient dwellings with Qing Dynasty characteristics and cultural landscape attractions.

The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion is the residence of Chen Tingjing, a grand councilor of the Qing Dynasty. It is a large mansion in the form of a castle, built against the mountain and magnificent. A small river flows in front of the mansion, adding a bit of spirituality. The buildings in the mansion were all built in those days. It is rare to be preserved so well from the Qing Dynasty to the present. There is also a large-scale performance of "Welcoming the Holy Chariot" at the gate of the mansion every day, providing people with a platform to understand the culture of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Friends who come to Shanxi can come and have a look.

Before entering the Xiangfu, I saw a gatehouse with yellow glazed tiles. When I got closer, I found that it was the Imperial Library, with a plaque written by Emperor Kangxi, "Wuting Mountain Village" and a couplet, "Spring returns and the trees are lush and luxuriant, autumn arrives and the yellow flowers are fragrant in the late season", and these are all original objects. The Xiangfu has the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, Wenchang Pavilion, Chen's Ancestral Hall, Qilin Courtyard, Rongshan Mansion, and Yushi Mansion, which show the prominent official family. When browsing, there are some scenic spots that are filmed for TV and are not allowed to be visited, which makes people feel very sorry. What is also incomprehensible is that the scenic spot costs 120 yuan, including taking a shuttle bus (20 yuan) to visit the Xiangfu Manor, which is less than 2 kilometers away from the Xiangfu. In fact, there is a plantation in the scenic area, selling some agricultural products, and there are some performances, and tickets must be bought separately. I think this is a bit forced and has nothing to do with the historical architecture of the Xiangfu. Moreover, this is twice as much as the Forbidden City where the emperors of the Qing Dynasty lived, which is a bit "high-priced". The tickets to the Imperial City Xiangfu are a bit expensive, and the Xiangfu Manor is not worth going to.

A famous ancient castle in the style of the Chinese Qing Dynasty.

The most impressive thing about the folk Forbidden City is the Shanhe Tower, which is designed to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and the private school, which teaches children to start from childhood.

Lamenting the wealth of his master's family, his life story praises his integrity. Personally, I think he is a man who can accomplish great things and is absolutely smooth in his life. If he is really that honest, I am afraid his ending will be a replica of Hai Rui.

It takes an hour and costs 2 yuan to get here from Jincheng East Station. You will pass Guoyu Village first. The Imperial City Xiangfu faces east and west, so it is recommended to come here around 3 or 4 pm in the summer. The ticket price on Taobao is 103. I walked a lot, but the Xiangfu is indeed large in scale and worth a visit.

Overall, it is a very good place with magnificent momentum and exquisite carvings. However, compared with other scenic spots in Shanxi, especially several courtyards in Jinzhong, the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion does not have obvious advantages. Instead, the transportation is not convenient and the tickets are too expensive. If you like this huge tower and wall, Guoyu Village opposite the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion is more original and does not require tickets. Overall, the scale and momentum are not as good as the Wang Family Courtyard, and the exquisiteness of each courtyard is far inferior to the Qiao Family Courtyard.

Many people don’t know about this place, the courtyard is magnificent and worth a visit.

The ancient buildings are magnificent and majestic, showing the wisdom of the ancients

It's rare to see it, it's well preserved, I was shocked

120 yuan/person, explanation fee 130 yuan, reference time 1 hour and 40 minutes



Huangcheng Xiangfu (also known as Wutingshan Village) has a total area of 36,000 square meters. It is the former residence of Chen Tingjing, a minister of Wenyuan Pavilion and the Minister of Personnel of the Qing Dynasty, the chief reviewer of the Kangxi Dictionary, and the lecturer of the 35th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. It consists of the inner city, the outer city, and the Ziyunqian. The Imperial Library is magnificent, the Zhongdaozhuang is majestic and spectacular, the Douzhuju Mansion is continuous, the Heshan Tower is majestic and steep, and the Cangbing Cave is layered and wonderful. It is a rare castle-style official residential building complex in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is praised by experts as "the home of the first cultural giant family in northern China."



Due to holidays, the Heshan Tower cannot be visited. The tour guide told us that there is also a tower in Guoyu Village that can be entered, and there are tunnels to see.

To be honest, the big skewers of roasted lamb at the Spring Festival snack street at the entrance are fake meat except for two pieces of fat meat. It tastes terrible.

A very spectacular huge mansion of an official family with a strong cultural atmosphere, it is worth a visit~

Chen Tingjing - Kangxi Emperor's tutor, chief editor of Kangxi Dictionary, Wenyuan Pavilion Grand Secretary and Minister of Personnel, plus three levels. So he pushed hard.

This is the former residence of Chen Tingjing, the teacher of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the Guanglu Doctor. It is a unique castle-style building complex. It is different from other Shanxi courtyards. The entire building is built according to the terrain, changing with the shape, with layers of buildings and courtyards, and is solid and solid. There are wells, millstones, and grinding mills in the Heshan Building, and there are secret passages leading directly to the outside of the city, which can protect the city and the village and resist foreign invasion. The TV series "Kangxi Empire" was also filmed here.

The Imperial Library is magnificent, the Zhongdaozhuang is majestic and spectacular, the Douzhuju Mansion is continuous, the Heshan Tower is majestic and steep, and the Cangbing Cave is layered and wonderful. It is a rare castle-style official residence complex in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is praised by experts as "the home of the first cultural giant in northern China."

The Imperial City Xiangfu complex consists of two parts: the inner city and the outer city. There are 16 courtyards, 640 houses, and a total area of 36,580 square meters.

It is a well-developed scenic area and the former residence of Chen Tingjing, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion in the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Kangxi stayed here twice, so it is called the "Imperial City".

Looking at Chen Tingjing's name, stories like this one of rising to the top step by step are always not as interesting as stories of killing corrupt officials, punishing evil and promoting good, so people are more familiar with figures like Heshen and Soetu.

The scenery is average compared to other courtyards, but the contribution made by the Chen family to the Ming and Qing dynasties is truly admirable to future generations. The culture is more important than the scenery, and it is worth a trip.

The royal gardens feel different from the gardens in the south. The ones in the north are more luxurious, rough, yet delicate. They feel great and are highly recommended!

The residence of Emperor Kangxi's teacher Chen Tingjing is quite majestic! The residence is very large even now, and it takes at least two hours to tour it.

It's a very big and interesting place. The performance at the beginning was good and very real. The Little Apple dance was very down to earth!!

This is my third time here. I have a different feeling every time I come here. The courtyard is magnificent and the house has a rich cultural heritage. You must listen to the guide's explanation. Only by combining the past and the present can you understand the owner of the house and its history.

The Imperial City Prime Minister’s Mansion.

At the border of Henan Province, we visited it together with Yuntaishan.

When you are there, you will be shocked by this mansion which occupies half of the mountain.

The Prime Minister's Mansion in history must have been so glorious that it would have left behind such a legacy a hundred years later, impressing contemporary people.

For several generations, every dynasty served as an official.

A family with countless heroes, all of whom have shone brightly on the stage of history.

Feel the culture,

It really makes me feel respect and admiration in my heart.

The tour guide fee is too high, and if I don’t hire one, I won’t understand it.

It is a large historical site. If there is any special feature, it is the castle-like Jin Family Courtyard.

The overall style is quite good, and the architecture is its characteristic. It would be better to ask a tour guide to explain it.

Huangcheng Xiangfu, a national AAAAA-level scenic spot, is located in Beiliu Town, Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. Huangcheng Xiangfu (also known as Wutingshan Village) has a total area of 36,000 square meters. It is the former residence of Chen Tingjing, a university scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and a third-level official of the Ministry of Personnel in the Qing Dynasty, the chief reviewer of the Kangxi Dictionary, and the lecturer of the 35th year of Emperor Kangxi's imperial lecture. It consists of the inner city, the outer city, and the Ziyunqian. The Imperial Library is magnificent, the Zhongdaozhuang is majestic and spectacular, the Douzhuju Mansion is continuous, the Heshan Tower is majestic and steep, and the Cangbing Cave is layered and wonderful. It is a rare castle-style official residence complex in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is praised by experts as "the home of the first cultural giant in northern China."

In 2007, the Imperial Palace became an AAAAA-level tourist attraction. In April 2012, the Imperial Palace won the championship in the national civilized unit selection.

The overall style is quite good, and the architecture is its characteristic. It would be better to ask a tour guide to explain it.

We set out from Taiyuan and finally arrived at the Imperial City Mansion after a heavy rainstorm. Overall, it is still worth a visit. It is best to bring a tour guide. After all, we don’t know much about history.

It is a very good scenic spot, and I got to appreciate the Shanxi Cultural Courtyard again.

Don't go to Xiangfu Garden, that's a scam, but the Xiangfu ancient building complex is still worth a visit.

It's OK, the scale is quite large. There is a small temple opposite, which is worth seeing, so I don't recommend it. In addition, Ziyunqian is the tomb of Chen Tingjing, and there is a forest of steles bestowed by Emperor Kangxi. If you are interested, you can take a look.

As we all know, the Imperial Palace is the official residence of Chen Tingjing and the residence of the Chen family, a famous oriental castle. Walking into the Imperial Palace, the rich history and culture are enough to make people intoxicated. It is recommended to learn some of the historical background here before playing, which will be more interesting when playing. If you come here during holidays, you must enter the scenic area early to avoid the peak of crowds. In short, it is highly recommended and exceeded expectations!

The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion is located in Beiliu Town, Yangcheng County, Shanxi Province, 35 kilometers away from Jincheng City. We arrived at 11:00 noon.

The day we arrived at the scenic spot was during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. The parking lot was so big and full of cars. My mother and aunt went to find a place to stay. We booked a room in half an hour, and the location was excellent. We could see the scenic spot across the street while lying on the bed. It turned out that although there were many cars in the parking lot, half of them were not for accommodation.

After we made the arrangements, we went to visit the scenic spot in the afternoon. At 13:00, many people gathered outside the gate of the scenic spot, waiting for something on the stands set up outside the gate. After asking around, we found out that there was an opening ceremony at the gate in the afternoon and morning. We were lucky enough to arrive just as the opening performance began. The performance was quite large and lasted for more than ten minutes.

After watching the show, we followed a large number of tourists into the Imperial City Mansion. The ticket price was 120 yuan. The price booked online was 108 yuan. My aunt was lucky to arrive because the scenic spot was having an event. Her property allowed her to get a discount of 15 yuan for the ticket. My aunt got a great bargain.

The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion is a 5A-level scenic spot. It is the best official residence in the world. It is called the Oriental Castle. Its owner is a big shot. He was the teacher of Emperor Kangxi, the Minister of Personnel of Wenyuan Pavilion in the Qing Dynasty. His greatest achievement was the chief reviewer of the Kangxi Dictionary, Chen Tingjing, a famous prime minister. Emperor Kangxi lived here many times. The military defense facilities in the Prime Minister's Mansion are complete. The courtyard wall is tall. In order to learn more about the history of the castle, we went everywhere to listen to the tour guide's explanation. Because there were many visitors, the tour guide could listen to the next group if he couldn't hear everything once, saving the tour guide fee. We didn't leave the scenic area until almost 17:00 in the afternoon.

From October 23, 2015, the performance time of the scenic area's large-scale opening ceremony "Welcoming the Holy Driver" will be adjusted to one performance at 9:30, with one additional performance at 15:00 every afternoon on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

An ancient oriental castle with a strong humanistic spirit.

The stone plaque of "Wutingshan Village" bestowed by Emperor Kangxi is well preserved

This is also a film and television base. Many historical films and TV dramas were shot here. It records the family history of a generation of literati, the hometown of Emperor Kangxi’s teacher, and the world’s number one government office.

Typical Shanxi style, similar to other courtyards, slightly larger in scale, ticket price 100 yuan

It’s a very classic attraction, especially its garden, which makes it look brand new after having seen many courtyards.

You can have a look, it's quite big, you can also have a look at what the home of a high-ranking official was like in the past. It's a pity for Miss Chen, she has a bad fate, a talented woman

A must-see place in Jincheng is similar to Wang's Courtyard. Entering the courtyard records the glory of the past.

I went to Guoyu Village first and then to Huangcheng Xiangfu. I feel that Guoyu Village is better. I don’t like seriously commercialized attractions. I recommend going there to take a look and walk around.

The residence of Chen Tingjing, a famous prime minister in the Qing Dynasty, was built according to the terrain of the mountain, with layers of buildings and courtyards in a staggered manner.

There is no need to elaborate on the historical origins and stories of the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion. You can find them in detail by checking the encyclopedia. I will mainly talk about my experience of visiting the place. I went there during the New Year's Day holiday. There were quite a few people, but it was not crowded. At least I could visit it at will. There was a performance of the emperor welcoming the emperor before the gates opened early in the morning. The scene and formation were very grand, but the content was a little short. It was a small dish before visiting the scenic area. It was very interesting. After entering the scenic area, since most of the things to see were cultural relics, you must have a tour guide to explain them in order to understand them better. However, we did not find a tour guide in advance, so we could only browse and enjoy the scenery.

The Xiangfu is said to be the home of the prime minister, but in fact it should be understood as the home of a large family of the prime minister. The large courtyards are connected to each other, and there are streets in the courtyards, which are interconnected. The number of courtyards and the large area are definitely not what ordinary wealthy families can achieve. The architectural style is mostly the same, with blue bricks and gray tiles, low-key and unobtrusive, but exuding an irrepressible grandeur, which can be regarded as a kind of internal strength.

The outer wall of the prime minister's mansion is composed of a circle of walls and towers, on which troops can be stationed and garrisons can be stationed. There is also a watchtower at the highest point at the back, which shows the high status and power of this mansion.

In short, whether as a historical and cultural heritage or an ancient architectural landscape, the Xiang Mansion is very worth visiting and is highly recommended.

I have been waiting for a long time, and finally I went there in the hot summer. Every time I visit the cultural landscape, I learn a lot. I know that it is too hot in this season, and I will be sunburned and suffocated. There are guides explaining the whole process, and the tour is also quite detailed. After I came back, I watched the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" again, and my feelings deepened, haha. In addition, the performances in the scenic square also bring everyone something to watch, but it is better to go to the stands a little earlier to watch the performances!

The company organized a trip, and the weather was still very cold in April

The Imperial Residence of the Prime Minister, located in Beiliu Town, Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, is the former residence of Chen Tingjing, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and Minister of Personnel of the Qing Dynasty, the chief reviewer of the Kangxi Dictionary, and the lecturer of the 35th year of Emperor Kangxi's Imperial Lecture. It consists of the inner city, outer city, Ziyunqian and other parts, including the Imperial Library, Zhongdaozhuang, Douzhuju, Heshanlou, Cangbingdong, etc. There are 16 courtyards, 640 houses, and a total area of 36,580 square meters. There are eight large courtyards in the inner city, and the outer city has front halls and back bedrooms, left and right inner palaces, academies, gardens, boudoirs, housekeepers' courtyards, and Wanghe Pavilion. It is a rare castle-style official residential complex in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is praised by experts as "the home of the first cultural giant in northern China."

During the 260 years from Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty to Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, a total of 41 tribute students, 19 juren, 9 jinshi and 6 people entered the Hanlin Academy appeared in the Imperial Palace. Chen Tingjing lived in the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, and served in important departments such as the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Punishment. He served as a reader and lecturer for a long time, and finally became a Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion. He was a national teacher of Kangxi. His literary attainments were deeply appreciated by Kangxi. He left behind "Wuting Wenbian", "Heshang Collection", "Canye Poetry Selection", "Shuoyan Poetry Collection", "Shanli Zhiyao", "Wuting Guiqu Collection", etc. The "Kangxi Dictionary" he presided over is even more famous through the ages.

The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion is the former residence of Chen Tingjing, the teacher of Emperor Kangxi. The house is well preserved and is worth a visit.

Nice place, if you have time you can go for a walk

The tour guide's explanation was very good, but the ticket staff at the door was abominable. She would sell sightseeing tickets to Xiangfu Manor together. If you don't want to go, remember to tell her when you buy it.

The home of Chen Tingjing, prime minister of the Qing Dynasty.

Characteristic Shanxi style.

Worth a visit.

One of the main representatives of northern architecture, especially traditional residential architecture in Shanxi

We went there during the National Day holiday. There were a lot of people, which affected the tour to a certain extent. During the holidays, there were intern tour guides, which were students from nearby who came to help. The official tour guides cost 130, while the intern tour guides cost 80.
