团河行宫

Tuanhe is a former imperial palace with multiple pavilions, halls, and water features set within expansive gardens following traditional Chinese design. The buildings and pathways spread across a large property with varying elevations and planted areas.

Emperor Qianlong built this palace in 1777 as a place to rest and conduct military exercises and political meetings. It became an important location for imperial operations during the 18th century.

The palace combines northern imperial architecture with southern garden elements, showing how builders merged different regional styles. You can see how spaces are arranged around courtyards and water flows through the layout as a designed feature.

The ruins are easiest to reach by public transportation that serves the area. Wear sturdy shoes since the ground can be uneven and some parts are still exposed to the elements.

The grounds contain trees planted during Qianlong's time that are now protected by Beijing's government. These centuries-old plants still speak to the original design and use of the site.
