Residence of the General

The Residence of the General is the largest and best-preserved general office in China of the highest ranking frontier garrison in Qing Dynasty. It was set up by the Qing Dynasty to enhance the stability of the northwest frontier, prevent the Junggar Division of Mongolia from invading the northwest frontier of the Qing Dynasty again, and protect the subjects. It is an important part of the Eight Banners garrison system. Since it was the residence of the garrison generals in Suiyuan City, it is called the General's Bureau, which has a history of more than 270 years and has important historical value.
