南宋德寿宫遗址博物馆

Southern Song Deshou Palace Site Museum

Deshou Palace Site Museum interprets the residence of retired Southern Song emperors within the former capital of Lin'an. Protected foundations, archaeological layers, digital reconstruction and displays of court life make palace space visible without pretending the surviving evidence is a complete historic building. It adds essential urban context beyond West Lake's landscape story.
