Old China

The interior of the Zhu Family Garden and Mansion is filled with interesting parallel juxtapositioned courtyards and pavilions with lovely carved folding doors that lead from the courtyards into formal rooms and out to a parallel courtyard and then another pavilion. The mansions and gardens, built by Zhu Weiqing over a 30 year period (1871-1903), is a notable example of a Qing Dynasty residential house. It is located in Jianshui Ancient Town (Lin'an Fu), one of the famous cultural towns of China, with a history dating back 1200 years.
