When Emperor Hongwu appointed Zhou Shouqian, a distant relative, to preside over this southerly region, he began a legacy that would last 300 years. The Jingjiang Palace was built in the late 14th century, around the same time as the Forbidden City. While its smaller stature reflects Guangxi’s minor vassal status, parallels with the Beijing monument are obvious. Inside, you’ll find modern portraits of each of the 14 Jingjiang Princes along with relics unearthed from their tombs, which lie un-restored, a few miles out of town.
