Palace of Eternal Longevity

It is the closest residence to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the living quarters of the Qing emperors since 1722.

It was built in 1420 as the "Palace of Eternal Pleasure" (长乐宫; Chǎnglègōng).

In 1535, the Jiajing Emperor renamed it as the "Palace of Embodying Morality" (毓德宫; Yùdégōng).

It received its current name in 1616, during the reign of the Wanli Emperor, and underwent renovations in 1697 and 1897.
