1. Get to know Zhenhuan's life at Shou Kang Gong
Shou Kang Gong used to be the residence for Emperor Qianlong's mother , the well known "Zhenhuan". Now the exhibition here displays precious treasures of the empress dowager revealing facets of Zhenhuan's daily life, and the flourishing material culture of the Qianlong period in the Qing Dynasty.
A luxurious 1.53-meter-high gold tower is exhibited in the palace, which is embedded with jewels, calaites, and corals on its surface, and has a Buddhist statue inside. There is also a gold box in the tower which is said to be formerly used to collect the empress dowager's hairs.
