The Ruins of Tuancheng Imperial Palace is a protected cultural heritage site in Beijing.

The Ruins of Tuancheng Imperial Palace are located

in Tuancheng Village, Xihongmen Town, Daxing District, and are designated as one of the sixth batch of municipal-level cultural heritage protection sites in Beijing.

Constructed in the 42nd year of Emperor Qianlong's reign during the Qing Dynasty (1777), the site functioned as a temporary residence for Qing emperors during their visits to Nanyuan for hunting or leisure, or when reviewing troops at Liangyingtai. Spanning 26 hectares, the complex centered around two lakes—one large and one small—and included a surrounding palace wall. Existing structures include the Imperial Stele Pavilion and the Cui Run Pavilion, while the rest consist only of ruins. On the southern and northern earthen mounds, 126 ancient cypress trees still remain.
