Shanghai's century-old mansion is rejuvenated, and a new academy in the ancient town of Jiangnan is a travel guide

🧚‍♀️Spend the weekend in the bustling Fengjing ancient town and discover that the century-old mansion has been given new life, as it turns out to be the newly opened Duoyun Academy! . 🏠The bookstore is located in Wang Huaiting's old house, which is nearly a hundred years old. The residence is a three-entry courtyard layout, located on the main street in the core area of the ancient town. . 📖Now, the century-old house has been transformed into an academy that combines a study room, exhibition hall, coffee shop, and cultural and creative functions. The simplicity and elegance of the past perfectly blend with modern art. . 💯Travel tips: ❤️Entering the academy, the tall magnolia ancient tree and the rippling pond in the courtyard give a sense of seclusion in the midst of the city, and there is a section of text on the wall from the Ming Dynasty literary figure Chen Jiru's 'Xiaochuang Youji'. . 💚Walking along the bluestone path through the courtyard, the warm and simple wooden bookshelves catch your eye. The first entry is the book area focusing on literature, history, philosophy, and art, and the second entry is the cultural and creative area. . 💛Stepping into the third entry courtyard is also the book area, but going up the wooden staircase to the second floor, this place was once the living and creative space for more than a dozen painters such as Cheng Shifa, Wang Guanqing, and Liu Danzhai. 🤎It has now been restored to a scene of the painters' work, with old-fashioned desks and warm water bottles from the 1970s and 1980s. . 📷Turning out from the third entry, there is also a super large outdoor courtyard. Interestingly, the center of the courtyard is marked as a Go chessboard, making it a great spot for taking photos. . 🎨The exhibition hall next to the courtyard is currently exhibiting 'Ding Song's Comic Life', the works of this artist born in Jinshan Fengjing. . 👉Nearby attractions: 1️⃣Fengjing Ancient Town: A famous cultural town of Jiangnan water towns with a history of over 1500 years, featuring local specialties such as zongzi, shaomai, dingti, yellow wine, dried tofu, and zhuangyuan cake, etc.; 2️⃣Hua Kai Hai Shang Ecological Park: A park for greenery outings, with the plum blossoms currently in their prime viewing period; 3️⃣Donglin Temple: Holding three Guinness World Records, with the tallest cloisonné statue, the tallest Guanyin statue, and the tallest bronze door!
