The interior displays a restoration of the prince's lifestyle and military equipment, making it a stop in Turpan's cultural tour that is often skipped but actually very worth seeing.

Destination Details
The prince's mansion was reconstructed based on historical records, with earth-yellow walls and arcades adapted to Turpan's intense heat. The exhibition explains how Emin Khoja assisted in suppressing the greater and lesser Khojas and was granted the title of Prince, which can be cross-referenced with the inscriptions on Sugong Tower.
Visiting Highlights
- Highlights: Restored hall furnishings, exhibition on the prince family's history
