壽康宮, Imperial residence in Forbidden City, Beijing, China
The Shoukang Palace stands in the western section of the Inner Court, featuring traditional Chinese palace architecture with yellow glazed roof tiles and connected corridors.
Construction of Shoukang Palace began in 1735 during the Yongzheng period and was completed in 1736, serving as the residence for Grand Dowager Empresses of the Qing Dynasty.
The palace complex incorporates three courtyards where emperors performed filial duties by visiting their mothers and grandmothers every few days to pay respects.
Visitors can access Shoukang Palace through the south entrance plaza, which connects to Cining Palace and includes surrounding wing rooms for a comprehensive tour.
The palace underwent restoration in 2013 and opened to the public in 2015, marking the 90th anniversary of the Palace Museum with restored interior displays.
