based on 218 reviewsHu Xueyan's Former Residence is located at No. 18 Yuanbao Street, Shangcheng District in Hangzhou. The merchant's lavish mansion was built in 1872 in typical Ming- and Qing-courtyard style and is divided in half by a central axis, flanked by a courtyard on each side. Guests particularly love the flowing stream and jagged rocky outdoor areas in the gardens within the courtyard residence. The East courtyard is composed Hele Hall, Qingya Hall, and Nanmu Hall. It is currently the residence of the historic site's caretakers. The West Courtyard is the garden where Hu Xueyan spent much of his time.
