Rongguo Mansion was built as a royal palace according to the description in A Dream of Red Mansions, "a fairy palace with golden gates and jade doors, and a concubine's home in the laurel palace." It covers an area of ​​22,000 square meters, has 212 rooms and 102 corridors. The entire mansion is divided into three parts: east, middle and west, each of which is a five-courtyard quadrangle from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The middle road is Jia Zheng's official residence, which is decorated with solemn palace-style paintings. The east and west roads are inner courtyards, which are decorated with lively Su-style paintings. The indoor floor-standing flower covers are elegant and magnificent, and the Ming and Qing-style furniture is exquisite and luxurious. 23 scenes, 88 characters, and more than 1,600 antiques, calligraphy and paintings reproduce the magnificence of "a family with bells and drums, and a family of poetry, books and calligraphy."
In Yiyuan Garden on the west side of the palace, there is an ancient flower pavilion with winding bridges and beautiful scenery, just like a small and unique Suzhou garden.
The storyline of Rongguo Mansion and Haibao in Dream of the Red Chamber has been moved into the scenic area, allowing tourists to appreciate the stories in the classic masterpiece while having fun.
The West Garden is a small garden modeled after the Jiangnan gardens. The garden has winding corridors, pavilions, and bridges, as well as mountains and water, making it look like a small and unique Suzhou garden. The rockery plays a role in suppressing the scenery. The cheerful mountain and rock scenery and the blue water depend on each other and reflect each other. The peony garden is full of colorful flowers. The four-season flower pavilion is ancient and quaint, providing visitors with cool air, shelter from the rain, rest and sightseeing.
