Ka La Qin Palace, Qing Dynasty palace in Harqin Banner, China.
Ka La Qin Palace is a large complex with five symmetrical courtyards arranged along a central axis following Qing Dynasty architectural principles. The structures showcase traditional royal design practices with carefully organized spaces and buildings.
Built in 1679 during Emperor Kangxi's reign, the palace served as a residence for the Ka La Qin family across several centuries. Leadership of the property transitioned in the 20th century when the ruling line ended.
The palace blends Mongolian and Han Chinese architectural styles throughout its design, reflecting the cultural exchange that shaped the region during the Qing period. Visitors can see this fusion in the decorative details and spatial arrangements.
The site operates as a museum where visitors can walk through the preserved structures and buildings at their own pace. Guided tours are available to help you understand the historical and architectural details.
The grounds feature a bronze statue of Prince Gungsangnorbu, the last ruling prince of the line, who is remembered for his transformation from a traditional ruler into a political reformer. This statue commemorates his later influence in regional affairs.
