Hami Hui King's Palace
哈密回王府
The palace of the Hui kings of Hami (the Hami Kings) during the Qing dynasty. The rebuilt palace complex, royal tombs and Muqam Heritage Center together form the core of the Huicheng scenic area.
The Hami Hui King’s Palace was the residence of the Hui king family, who ruled Hami from the Kangxi era of the Qing dynasty until 1930. The original buildings were destroyed during wartime, and the palace complex has since been rebuilt according to its former design. It presents the history of the Hui royal family, Uyghur court life and Qing frontier governance. The site also includes the Hui King Tombs, the Aytigar Mosque and the Hami Muqam Heritage Center. You can see everything in one visit, and Muqam music and dance performances are often held. The palace is in Huicheng Township, Yizhou District, about 5 km from the city center, and is easily reached by taxi. Ticket and combo prices are confirmed on site. Allow 2–3 hours for your visit.
