Chen Ci Hong

The former residence worth seeing is well preserved. The building has a very distinctive Lingnan style and Nanyang style. It is beautifully decorated, unique in style and covers a large area. During the period, I also saw the performance of English singing and dancing. It was very interesting and recommended!

When I came to Chaoshan area for self-driving tour, I specially booked Chen Cixi's former residence through Trip.com . The overall reservation of the former residence is better. The former residence shows the life of this old overseas Chinese and his family. It has benefited a lot and is worth a visit!

The highlight is that there are lockers on both sides of the gate after the ticket is checked into the park, and it is more convenient to scan the code to store luggage. Others are the appearance of the normal celebrity's former residence, there is a house, there is a story, by the way, the tour guide explained, different tour guides have different styles, and the focus is different. If you are not in a hurry, you can listen to a few more performance groups. At the same time, because the order of the tour with the small park has been replaced, there is an extra layer of surprises to understand the historical background of the small park in advance.

Quality Comments: The former residence of Chenzi School outside Shantou City is built by Chenzi School, a local businessman living in Thailand. It can be arrived by No. 103, or by chartered bus. The ticket for the former residence is 35 yuan, which is much closer to the people than the hundreds of Shanxi courtyards. Chen Cixue's former residence is a combination of Chinese and Western architectural styles. It has pavilions, pavilions and overpasses. It is the largest modern family building in Chaoshan area. However, the development of the former residence is relatively low, the facilities such as explanation, service and catering are relatively simple or lacking, and the attraction to ordinary tourists is weak, and the number of visitors is relatively small.

Longdu Town, Chenghai District, Shantou City, Guangdong Province, has a former beautiful village, which has a history of more than 600 years since the end of the Yuan Dynasty. This village of Chen clan retains a large number of buildings during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and is the representative of Chaoshan folk houses. There are not only Yongning Village which occupied more than 10,000 square meters built by Chen Tingguang during Kangxi period, but also the luxurious house occupied by the family of Chen Cixu (Duhong), a local overseas Chinese financier, which covers more than 25,000 square meters, and the elegant house "Wenyuan Xiaozhu" which is a compact and delicate combination of Chinese and Western walls. Chen Cixue's former residence (going to Chaoshan is also a place where he feels that he has too little literacy, like Su and Hangzhou; only going to the northeast can he feel that he knows enough words) can be said to be an upgraded version of the local tyrants in Yongning Village. The supervisor was Wang Xifeng's daughter-in-law of the Chen family. Old Chen made a fortune by trade in Nanyang. He returned to his hometown to buy land and build luxury houses. The architectural features absorbed the characteristics of Southeast Asian architecture. He tridimensional the trendy architecture of the four-horse trailer and built a two-storey small building. Imported tile mosaics are ubiquitous and unique. Unfortunately, the part open to visitors is already uninhabited. As the popularity of the uninhabited dwellings diminishes, the house gradually becomes indifferent, even if it painstakingly models the real estate projects. A hundred-year-old house is different. Buildings are vibrant because of people's living and use, whether it's full of flowers and plants, or pictures on the walls, couplets of doors, wiped windows and doors, and clothes for drying. Even a hundred-year-old house in need of protection loses its spirituality when it leaves people's residence. Removing all the villagers is not a good way to protect the ancient villages. Protecting ancient villages is a long process of challenging wisdom and patience. I sincerely hope that after ten or twenty years, these old houses will be well preserved, and the local culture of Chaoshan will be well preserved.

Chaoshan is the most representative of the large-scale ancient people's residence - "Chen Cixu School's former residence", known as "the first overseas Chinese residence in Lingnan". The former residence is modeled on the Palace Museum of Beijing, and completely retains the architectural style of Chaoshan "Horse Trailer". There are 506 rooms in the hall, large-scale, Chinese and Western architectural art, Chaoshan is the most complete preservation of ancient dwellings, this scenic spot will reveal the secrets of Chaoshan people and Chaoshan culture for you. Absolutely amazing mansion, regardless of its construction scale, architectural art, its historical value and cultural characteristics, I think it is rare in Lingnan area, even in the whole country. I still lingered and forgot to return in the morning. The greatest feature of my former residence was the collection of the essence of building materials at that time at home and abroad. Among them, a large number of exquisite imported ceramic tile tiles were used. After nearly a hundred years of vicissitudes, these ceramic tile tiles are still bright and glorious. Every part, corner and detail of the whole building is exquisite and exquisite, which makes every visitor exclaim and admire.

Chen Cixue's former residence is located in Qianmei Village, Longdu Town, Chenghai, Shantou, Guangdong Province. The architectural style of Chen Cixue's former residence is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. Generally speaking, the traditional local style of Shantou "Horse Trailer" is the main style, and it combines the style of Western-style foreign buildings, including pavilions, pavilions and overpasses. Known as the first overseas Chinese residence in Lingnan, it is also the largest modern family building in Chaoshan area.

Chen Cihong's ancestral home is Qianmei Village. He left his hometown very early and returned to his hometown at the age of 40. I heard from the locals that this so-called former residence has never been lived in. It is just an investment to support his hometown. Most of the visitors are tour groups, and the ticket price of 58 yuan should also be used as a reference for travel agencies to quote. All the rooms open to visitors have become shops, and more than half of the areas are not open. The architecture has some artistic value, and more of the wealth is piled up. There will be a Yingge dance performance at 10:30, and the performance of several young actors is not very energetic. In general, it is worth seeing, but it is not worth much.
