Prince Fu Mansion

　　The Prince Fu Mansion is located at No. 137, Chaoyangmennei Street, Dongcheng District. It was the residence of Yinzhi, the thirteenth son of Emperor Kangxi (1662–1723) of the Qing Dynasty, when he was granted the title of Prince Yi.

　　The mansion faces south and its architectural layout can be divided into three sections: east, middle, and west. The central structures include: the main hall (Yin’an Hall), flanked by seven-room side pavilions on both sides in front, a five-room rear hall, a seven-room sleeping quarters, and at the very back, a seven-room rear screen building. On either side of the rear screen building are two independent courtyards. The main courtyard’s western side includes several siheyuan (traditional courtyard homes) that served as the residential area for the royal family members. The eastern section originally housed the treasury, stables, kitchens, and the residences of servants and attendants.

　　The Prince Fu Mansion features a strict and orderly layout and is a typical example of Qing Dynasty princely architecture. It is also one of the better-preserved princely mansions still existing in Beijing, holding significant historical value. (National Cultural Heritage Administration)
