The Fairy Tower - a seven-door, two-story building made of golden nanmu. The bedroom, the fairy tower style of "a small house in a big house, and a small building on top of the small house" is exactly the same as the Leshou Hall of Ningshou Palace in the Forbidden City. It is said that a single partition fan is worth over 100 million, and the overall golden nanmu top beam, a single column is worth 2 1.7 billion, no wonder Jiaqing wanted to convict Heshen for "tyrannizing extravagance and exceeding the regulations"~

The back tower - located at the junction of the mansion and the garden, with 54 houses on the upper and lower floors in a row , up to 156 meters long. This Zhulou is the longest building among the royal palaces in China. It is commonly known as "99 and a half rooms", which means "full when full" in Taoism.

Xiu Yi Hengchun" expresses Prince Gong's longing for the tranquility of ancient times and the garden full of spring ~~

Theatre - the only fully enclosed theater in existence in my country. Especially the sound of the theater Effect. In order to ensure that the sound is realistic, nine large tanks were hollowed out under the theater building and placed under the stage. The others were arranged in the shape of "eight" on both sides of the stage. The ingenious and special structure increased the sound of the sound. The reverberation space allows the audience to clearly hear the actors singing without any sound transmission tools at any position in the theater~~

Fu - Xiaozhuang was sixty years old at the time. When he was seriously ill, Kangxi wrote this "blessing" in order to wish the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang her 60th birthday when offering sacrifices to the heaven in the Temple of Heaven. This blessing was completed in one go, strong and majestic, and can be divided into five parts: "child, talent, field, more and longevity". The word "Many children, many talents, many fields, many lives, many blessings" can be said to be "the five blessings that come to your door". After seeing the words, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang felt happy, and she recovered from her serious illness and extended her life by fifteen years. The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang ordered someone to The character "福" is carved on the white marble to bring blessings to future generations.
