Cining Palace is the essence of ancient Han Palace architecture. The Cining Palace in the Ming Dynasty was built in the 15th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1536) and was occupied by the imperial concubine of the previous generation. The early and middle Qing Dynasty was the heyday of Cining Palace. At that time, Empress Xiaozhuang Wen and Empress Xiaoxing lived here successively.
