The West Ocean Gate was not the building when Prince Gong's Mansion was built in the early days, but it was later transferred to Yuan 䜣, and he built it by him. It was the garden gate of the back garden of Prince Gong's Mansion. At that time, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the Western Gate was a rococo-style carved stone arch gate, but in the details, there was a localized design, such as the pedestal part of the Sumizu, the "quiet contain Taikoo" "Xiu Xuan Hengchun", which was more obvious in traditional meaning. The West Ocean Gate is also the only Western-style building in the park, which can reflect the owner's desire to save the Qing Dynasty rule by learning Western culture and technology, which is one of the three best in the Prince Gong's Mansion.

Xiyangmen is the garden gate in the garden of Prince Gong's Mansion. This garden gate has existed before Prince Gong's stay in the end of Daoguang. Although it is impossible to accurately judge the construction time with the current information, considering that the former owner of Prince Gong's Mansion is Hexuan, Hexuan, the chief minister responsible for the Yuanmingyuan project, may have some secret connections during this period. This western gate is a rococo-style carved stone arch gate, a form that is rare in private gardens.
