How big was the area of an ancient royal palace?

The size of the ancient royal palace varied depending on factors such as era, region, and level of the palace, and in general, the area of a large palace could reach several thousand square meters or more. For example, the Forbidden City in Beijing during the Ming Dynasty covered an area of 720,000 square meters and was one of the most famous large palace buildings in Chinese history. The size of a small palace may be only a few hundred square meters.

It's about the size of dozens of acres of land.

As the capital of our country, Beijing is a place with great humanistic feelings. As we all know, Beijing has many distinctive ancient buildings, which present a sense of historical age for people in an authentic way. And what I am talking about today is a national first-class museum, a national 5A-level scenic spot, and it is also the largest palace in the Qing Dynasty, which is Prince Gong's Mansion.

Prince Gong's Mansion is located in the Shichahai area, which is a famous tourist attraction in Beijing. This is a treasure of feng shui, which has a history of many years and is known as the private residence of Heshen. Prince Gong's Mansion witnessed the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty and is known as "a palace, half of the history of the Qing Dynasty".

When you first arrive at the gate of Prince Gong's Mansion, people will see two stone lions. The meaning of the stone lion is self-evident, but these two stone lions are different from what people usually see, and they look more imposing and full of royal style. What's more, these two stone lions are old and have been very well preserved.

Walking into Prince Gong's Mansion, people will be attracted by its majestic momentum. It's a very large place, but it wasn't big at first, but later pruning gave it a new look. The interior of Prince Gong's Mansion is quite distinctive, very luxurious, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as magnificent.

In front of it are all kinds of palaces, and behind it is a beautiful garden, with a total area of 90 acres. The interior of the palace is designed to be a perfect combination of seriousness and beauty, and it can be said that this place is second only to the palace of the emperor at that time.

Walking into the distinctive buildings, people will find that the architectural style here is exquisitely carved, carved beams and paintings, and everywhere shows its unique charm. Both the window frames and Hengyang are decorated with many exquisite works, which shows that the construction of this private house was very careful at that time. Walking towards the garden from the front, you will pass a rear covered building, which is said to be 99 and a half rooms.

After that, I went to the back garden of Prince Gong's Mansion, and the name of the garden was very artistic conception called Jincui Garden. Indeed, this garden presents the splendid jade to the fullest, and the design of the garden is modeled after the Ningshou Palace in the imperial palace. The whole garden is centered on mountains and rivers, which is very classical art.

The most worth saying is that the garden still retains the word "Fu" written by Emperor Kangxi himself.

I have to say that the back garden of Prince Gong's Mansion is much more beautiful than the gardens of many water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the scale is very large, the pavilions and buildings, the green trees, the ancient trees are towering, and the natural and beautiful scenery really attracts people. Although the image of He Shen that people see in the TV series is a relatively bad image, I have to say that He Shen was very careful when building this private house. At the same time, the private house is presented to the people of the present day, so that people can feel the culture of the time.
