The East and west sides of the palace are side houses (12 shops, now residential). Before 1957, the building area was 2760 square meters, and now only 360 square meters are used. In the past, there was an open space of about 7000 square meters opposite the main entrance of the ancient palace. Four theatrical altars, big and small, could be set up. Before the beginning of 1940, when the tide rose, they could reach the front of the palace. After 1958, private houses were built in the open space. The Empress Dowager's palace of Ru Dong was built in September 1825 and completed in March 1828. It took four years and consumed four thousand liang of silver. Dong Qi's official was Chen Rulan, the official of Hou Xuan's office. Chen shouchang advocated the construction of it.
