Palace of Double Glory

The Chonghua Palace (Palace of Double Glory) was located in a compound north of the six Western Palaces and was built by Emperor Yongzheng for his heir-designate (Emperor Qianlong) in 1727. Emperor Qianlong was a tea lover and he met friends and government officials in this palace and held tea banquets here every New Year’s Day. Everything remains now as it was in the Qianlong period.

Please note that the palace is not open to the general public. Visits to Chonghua Palace are subject to weather to protect the Palace’s golden bricks on the floor during rain or snow.
