In January 1906, "Fürst Bismarck" began a tour of Indonesia, after which she went to Hong Kong in late February. She remained there for almost a month, departing on 23 March to meet the rest of the squadron, which by then could be withdrawn from Shanghai. "Fürst Bismarck" and "Hansa", the only major warships assigned to the squadron by that time, visited Japanese ports in May. On 28 May, "Fürst Bismarck" went to Taku, where Breusing and his staff traveled overland to Peking, the first German naval officers to visit the Guangxu Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi after the Boxer Rebellion. "Hansa" began the voyage back to Germany on 4 July, and on 9 August, the light cruiser arrived to join the squadron. On 19 November, the light cruiser arrived to further strengthen the squadron. "Fürst Bismarck" and "Tiger" went on another tour of Indonesia and Japan in early 1907. On 13 May, "KAdm" Carl von Coerper arrived to replace Breusing; he began his tenure as squadron commander by boarding "Tiger" for a cruise into the Yangtze to familiarize himself with German economic interests in the area. After returning to "Fürst Bismarck", he visited Japan in company with "Niobe". During the squadron maneuvers that year, "Fürst Bismarck" won the "Schießpreis" for a fourth time.
