In July 1929, Puyi, Emperor Xun of the Qing Dynasty, moved from Zhang Yuan to live here with Wanrong and Wenxiu. It is named Jingyuan because of Puyi's "waiting for change and opportunity".

The courtyard plants mainly retain the original plants and transplant more than 10 kinds of ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers.
