Deshou Palace is located in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China. It was originally the old residence of Qin Hui, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. In 1162, Emperor Gaozong of Song moved to Xingong and renamed it "Deshou Palace". Afterwards, Deshou Palace was repeatedly expanded. The Deshou Palace Site Museum relies on the original site of the site, focusing on the protection, research, collection, and exhibition of the site itself and unearthed cultural relics, showcasing the history and culture of the Southern Song Dynasty.
