南宋德寿宫遗址博物馆
Southern Song Deshou Palace Site Museum
The Deshou Palace Ruins Museum of the Southern Song Dynasty displays the residence of the abdicated emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty in Lin'an City. Protected building foundations, archaeological stratigraphy, digital restorations and palace life displays help the audience understand the palace space without disguising the site as a complete ancient building, and add key urban history to the West Lake landscape narrative.

Plan your visit
Visit Hangzhou's Southern Song Deshou Palace ruins. Understand the archaeological displays and check individual or group entry before planning your visit.
Is this an intact ancient palace?
The museum presents the archaeological remains of a Southern Song palace site, with reconstructed architecture and interpretation above the ruins. Look for the surviving foundations and drainage features rather than expecting a fully preserved palace interior.
How should I prepare for entry?
Read the current visitor notice in the opening-hours section below and distinguish individual entry from group arrangements. Check special exhibitions and capacity notices before travel; an exterior photo stop does not confirm access to the indoor archaeological display.
Sources checked 16 October 2026. Planning advice is separate from official admission rules; recheck current notices before travel.
