The Prince Kung's Palace fridge magnet is inspired by the palace itself, the largest and most well-preserved Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) palace in Beijing. It is famous for Emperor Kangxi's "Fu (福)" inscription, symbolizing prosperity, fertility, talent, longevity, and happiness. Together with the diverse bat motifs symbolizing good fortune found in the palace, the inscription represents the renowned Fu Culture of Prince Kung's Palace.
