This architectural marvel blends Eastern and Western styles, exuding exquisite elegance. Its Feng Shui design is truly unparalleled. Embark on a journey with a compass in hand, exploring the Prince Gong Mansion and immersing yourself in the enchanting power of traditional Chinese Feng Shui culture... 🏯︱A One-Minute Introduction to the Prince Gong Mansion ﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉ The Prince Gong Mansion is the largest royal mansion of the Qing Dynasty, once inhabited by He Shen and Yong Lin, and later by Prince Gong Yixin, from whom the mansion derives its name. Spanning approximately 60,000 square meters, the mansion boasts over 30 diverse architectural complexes. Its rear garden, according to historical records, was rebuilt on the site of a Ming Dynasty garden, thus possessing a longer history. The mansion and its garden have witnessed the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty, hence the saying, "One Prince Gong Mansion, half of Qing Dynasty history." 🏯︱The Feng Shui of the Prince Gong Mansion ﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉ The fortune of the Prince Gong Mansion is attributed to its Feng Shui. Despite enduring the confiscation of property by Emperor Jiaqing, invasions by the Anglo-French Allied Forces and the Eight-Nation Alliance, and various "movements," the mansion remains relatively well-preserved, a testament to more than mere "luck." It is no exaggeration to say that the Prince Gong Mansion is a stellar representative of China's top-tier Feng Shui architecture. Its impeccable Feng Shui, priceless decorations, and meticulous details make it worthy of being called China's premier luxury residence. ◾In terms of location, the Prince Gong Mansion is situated on Beijing's water dragon vein. It is said that Beijing has two dragon veins: the earth dragon, which is the Forbidden City's dragon vein, and the water dragon, which refers to the line of Shichahai, Houhai, and Beihai. ◾In terms of layout, the Prince Gong Mansion presents a narrow front and wide rear, a Feng Shui design symbolizing "attracting nobility and gathering fortune." The "Zhai Jing" even states that a building with a narrow front and wide rear, resembling a "coffin shape," is a residence of wealth and nobility. Moreover, the mansion's Treasure Tower with 99.5 rooms and the 10,000 Fu (blessings) within the mansion are all meticulously designed. ⭐︱The Feng Shui Maze Game of the Prince Gong Mansion ﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉ Follow the electronic guide of the "Mansion Maze" murder mystery game, immersively traveling back to the Prince Gong Mansion a century ago.
