Xiaozhuang Manor, comparable to Prince Yong's Mansion.
Xiaozhuang Manor is the birthplace of the representative politician of the Qing Dynasty and the outstanding ancient woman Xiaozhuang Wenhuanghou. She lived here before she got married at the age of 13, and so did her sister Hailanzhu.
Because Xiaozhuang is more famous now, "Xiaozhuang Manor" is used as the name of the local large-scale place name, and the expressway also sets the same name entrance and exit. In fact, the name of this palace here is "Darhan Prince's Mansion"
The Darhan Prince's Mansion has been hereditary for twelve generations, and its relationship with the Qing Dynasty can be regarded as close relatives. Not only did four empress dowagers come out from here, but there were also many princesses and princesses who married to the mansion. Therefore, looking at the architectural specifications of the prince's mansion, there are front yard office areas, and there are sleeping palace areas behind. In addition to the central area, there are also east and west courtyard areas, which are simply a small Forbidden City. Although most of them are buildings that were later restored, it does not affect the feeling of the grandeur at that time. In contrast, Beijing's Prince Gong's Mansion is a delicate and elegant private courtyard, and here can be regarded as a solemn and solemn palace mansion.
After entering the prince's mansion, you can first see the palace and the throne in the palace. Nowadays, the Forbidden City in Beijing has banned tourists from entering the palace, and you can still experience the appearance of the palace here.
When you enter the backyard of the sleeping palace, the first thing you see is the bronze statue of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, surrounded by residential houses. There are some displays of furniture at that time in the house, and you can feel the life of people at that time.
There are some branch theme exhibitions on the east and west lines, which can also be browsed.
Cost
Adult ticket price: 50 yuan, preferential ticket is half price 25 yuan, free visit for those over 70 years old.
However, from the gate to the location of "Darhan Prince's Mansion", there is a distance of about 2 kilometers. It is recommended to buy a round-trip tram ticket, 10 yuan per person, and there is no preferential ticket.
If you are interested in Qing culture, especially Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, it is still worth seeing. It feels that parents of this generation go shopping, and it seems to be quite happy.
The curatorial rules are in line with their own conditions, there is no shortage, and there is no surprising breakthrough.
The exhibits are mainly ancient buildings and furniture, and there are some local cultural relics in the branch exhibitions. There are many miscellaneous items, and there is a lack of "treasure of the town hall" level of precious exhibits.
There is no need to say the reading value. If you can ask a tour guide to explain in detail, I believe there will be a lot of gains.
As an ancient palace as a background, you can take any photos you want, and there are also businesses in the courtyard that provide ethnic costumes for photos. If you are interested, you can go and experience it.
There is no sound and light electricity in the interaction, but it is an immersive exhibition, with its own interaction.
Cultural and creative products are sold by individual businesses, more like goods from wholesale markets, and there is basically no customization. It can only be said that the cultural tourism industry in this region has not yet realized the importance of IP business and is slightly behind the trend.
In short, there is still potential for development, and I hope it will get better and better in the future.
