It is worth taking a look and understanding Hu Xueyan's life. And the ticket price is not expensive. The suggestion is to rent a guide or explain it manually, you can better understand every detail. The former residence is very large and it is quite easy to get lost.
It is indeed the first mansion in the late Qing Dynasty. You can deeply understand the legendary life of Hu Xueyan and recommend taking children to see it. The design is also very exquisite, full of the characteristics and charm of the Soviet-style garden, it is a relatively niche attraction
There is actually a bathroom. The very user-friendly building is very beautiful. The most beautiful thing is the rockery in the back garden. Even the wood exudes a fragrance. The twists and turns inside are particularly deep. This makes me have a specific picture of the fight between the house door of the girl in the reborn novel. 😌
Hu Xueyan (1823-1885), formerly known as Guangxuan, the word Xueyan, ancestral Anhui Jixi, was born in Hangzhou, and is revered as the "Redding Merchant" for its outstanding business talents and contributions to society. Hu Xueyan's former residence was built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1872), and completed in 1875, which coincided with the peak of Hu Xueyan's career. The whole building reflects the style of Chinese architecture in the late Qing Dynasty and is known as the "first mansion of Chinese giants in the late Qing Dynasty". The architectural layout of the former residence is divided into central axis parts and courtyards on both sides of the east and west. The central axis area includes the car hall, Baishi Building, etc., which was used for daily hospitality. The sedan hall has two well-worked mahogany sedan chairs, and the beams are said to be all made of ginkgo wood. The west side courtyard is Hu Xueyan's frequent garden, Yuzhiyuan, with pavilions, Quqiao, Bichi and rockery. The courtyard on the east side consists of Heletang, Qingyatang, Hemu Hall and other halls, which is the living place of the owner's family. Hu Xueyan's former residence is not only the place where Hu Xueyan lives, but also the symbol of his business empire. In the heyday of his career, Hu Xueyan, in addition to operating Qianzhuang, also dabbled in grain, real estate, pawns and other industries, and founded "Hu Qingyutang National Drug No. His success and contribution to society were recognized by the court, and he was knighted as a minister of government, and he was given red tops and yellow horses.
The former residence is small and exquisite, one step at a time, living in a busy city, quiet in the middle of noisy, classic Jiangnan gardens. Pavilions and pavilions are silently telling the ups and downs of the red-top merchants' life, which is intriguing and thought-provoking. It is worth a visit.
