------ Zhongshan Park is located in Dongcheng District, Beijing, south of the Forbidden City and west of Tiananmen. It is a commemorative classical temple garden. It was originally the Xingguo Temple in the Liao and Jin Dynasties. It was renamed Wanshou Xingguo Temple in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was used as the Sheji Altar. . In 1925, when Mr. Sun Yat-sen passed away, the coffin was parked in the worship hall (now Zhongshan Hall) in the garden, and a public sacrifice was held. To commemorate this great pioneer of the democratic revolution, it was renamed Zhongshan Park in 1928. In 1988, Zhongshan Park was approved by the State Council as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Baowei Peace Archway is located in the south gate of Zhongshan Park. It is a bluestone archway with a width of 17 meters and a height of 10.9 meters, with four pillars and a blue glazed tile roof on the third floor. In the middle of the archway are engraved the four gold-plated characters "Defend Peace" inscribed by Guo Moruo.

The front is engraved with a gold-plated inscription written by Comrade Deng Xiaoping, "Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the great revolutionary forerunner, will live forever". The commemorative bronze statue was proposed by 54 members of the Beijing Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference in March 1983 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's death.


Coming out of the South Chuihua Gate of the Evergreen Garden, there is a small hill facing you. There is a hexagonal pavilion with double eaves. The pavilion was built in 1915.

The predecessor of Prince Gong's Mansion was the mansion of Heshen, a powerful minister of the Qianlong Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, and the mansion of Yonglin, the younger brother of Emperor Jiaqing. In 1851, Prince Kung Yixin became the owner of the house, hence the name of Prince Kung’s Mansion.
