## About Alxa Museum

Originally the residence of the Alxa Prince, construction began in 1732. It served as the administrative office and residence of successive Alxa princes. Repeatedly expanded over the centuries, the entire complex shows typical Qing-dynasty style, earning it the nickname "Little Beijing."
