Lonely Planet review

Reputed to be the model for the mansion in Cao Xueqin's 18th-century classic, Dream of the Red Mansions , the residence is one of Běijīng's largest private residential compounds. This remains one of Běijīng's more attractive retreats, decorated with rockeries, plants, pools, pavilions, corridors and elaborately carved gateways.

Full performances of Beijing opera are held regularly in the Qing dynasty Grand Opera House (adults Y80 - Y120 ; - , Mar-Oct) in the east of the grounds.
