Jingjiang Princes' City Architecture Guilin
The Jingjiang Princes' City (aka Jingjiang Princes' Palace) is commonly known as Wang Cheng (Princes' City), located in the inner city of Guilin, built from 1372 to 1392AD in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), close to the Solitary Beauty Peak. It was originally the official residence of Zhu Shou Qian - the great-nephew of Zhu Yuan Zhang (the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty). After Zhu Shou Qian was announced the Prince of Jingjiang by Emperor Zhu Yuan Zhang, this place was set as the Jingjiang. It had taken more than 20 years to build the capital. Now it has a history of over 630 years, which is older than the Forbidden City in Beijing.
