靖江王府（靖江王城、独秀峰·王城景区）
Guilin, Guangxi
Residence / former residence
The Ming princes of Jingjiang lived in a walled residence beneath Solitary Beauty Peak. Stone walls and palace platforms preserve important historic fabric, while the principal wooden halls were destroyed and buildings on the site belong to later periods.
Period: 1370s; 1652; twentieth century
History and owners
The Jingjiang princely line was established under the Hongwu emperor, with Zhu Shouqian as its first prince. Building beneath Solitary Beauty Peak began in the 1370s. The destruction of the wooden palace in 1652 is a decisive break in the site's architectural history. Later use as an examination compound, government premises and a university campus created additional historical layers; they should not be presented as uninterrupted survival of the Ming palace.
Architecture, interiors and collections
The walled city, gates and palace stone platforms are essential to understanding the former plan. The Chengyun Hall platform preserves historic stonework, while the building above belongs to a later phase. Solitary Beauty Peak, inscriptions and the examination-history displays add context, but the scenic area and the historic princely residence are not identical boundaries.
Planning your visit
Look for visitor information for Solitary Beauty Peak–Prince City, not the separate Jingjiang royal tombs. The research contains conflicting prices and uncertain campus boundaries. Confirm the exact ticket inclusions and current route with the operator; an independent official palace website was not established in the supplied material.
