Where to go on weekends 023｜The former residence of Hu Xueyan, a red-roofed businessman in the late Qing Dynasty!

#100 Ways to Travel Hangzhou has a long history and has many cultural relics. Among them is the former residence of Hu Xueyan, a red-roofed businessman in the late Qing Dynasty. His miraculous experience of rising from a humble servant to a first-rank official is amazing, but after reading the biography, you won’t be too surprised. Unexpectedly, his achievements are worth learning from business people👍 The former residence is located near Hefang Street, opposite the Deoksugung Palace left over from the Southern Song Dynasty. From a distance, you can see the towering white exterior walls and dark gray bricks on the roof. At first glance, it looks like an Anhui-style building, which is very different from the typical Jiangsu and Zhejiang buildings. The appearance of the entire former residence is very low-key, which is far from the financial resources of his wealthy country. Even the carvings on the windows and doors are simple and plain, which is very different from the exquisite and complicated styles in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The scale of the rockery garden is also far smaller than the well-known Humble Administrator's Garden. The only low-key reveal The financial resources are probably all kinds of furniture, such as rosewood, beech, rosewood, etc., which are very expensive at first glance. The itinerary can be arranged with Deoksugung Palace, the ruins of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Hangzhou Museum of Art. Afterwards, have dinner at Hefang Street and then walk around. The half-day itinerary is perfect❤️ #weekendclock#Where to go on weekends #Hangzhou attractions #historic sites tour #Hangzhou travel #Chinese garden #familytravel
