Located at No. 3 Dingfu Street in Xicheng District, this is the royal residence of Prince Qing, who was re-enfeoffed during the late Qing Dynasty, named Yi Xuan. The architecture is divided into three main parts. The central part is the main structure, which now only retains one rear chamber. The eastern part has also been reconstructed. The western part remains largely intact. The western section is the living and residential area, consisting of three courtyards arranged side by side.


The original halls all had names and were hung with plaques. There is also a two-story building, commonly referred to as the ‘Dressing Tower’ or ‘Embroidery Tower’. Currently, there are three courtyards, each with their own entrance. After 1949, the Beijing-Tianjin Garrison Command was established here. The mansion is open to the public from 9:00 to 17:00 all year round, but it is not open for interior visits; visitors can only appreciate the exterior.


The specific operating status is subject to the daily opening conditions.
