While billionaires of today build ostentatious towers, those of a more refined era built beautiful villas. A guided tour is highly recommended to explain the significance of the many halls, courtyards...
Hu Xueyans former residence has a ticket office at the back door of the front door, and all can go in, but if you buy a network ticket, you must enter from the main entrance. From the main entrance, there is a model map of the former residence of Hu Xueyan, and the TV on the wall also plays a simple introduction to the former residence. If there is enough time, it is recommended to listen to the introduction and then go shopping is more targeted.

Before I came, I heard that Hu Xueyans former residence had the largest false mountain cave in China. Seeing the small hole between the rockery in the picture below, I mistakenly thought that it was the legendary cave. How to see how small it feels pitiful. Haha, I am making a joke! This is a rockery, there is no cave. The legendary cave is in the garden.

Here only Hu Xueyan's main house and his mother can enter and exit at will, other uncles are not allowed to enter here without approval. The garden is not very big, but the pavilions are the ultimate exquisite.

Hu 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.

You can't see any way to visit yourself, the overall is superb, follow the guide to discover its wonderful, low-key luxury has connotation! Experience the rich merchants life of the cozy, and the period of the vicissitudes.
Hu Xueyan's former residence is very big, you can see, the wood materials are very good, the glass products should be very expensive in the year, so, it is worth going. Also met people live broadcast. Followed by the explanation. Hu is a big bitch.
Very beautiful gardens, there are always many attractions for tourists. It’s very patchy, one step at a time, and it’s the same as the gardens I’ve seen in Suzhou, but I don’t think there is a lot of white space, and it feels a bit crowded... There are fewer people in the evening, but the light is not good. The koi in the pond is very plump...This is a check-in spot that I don't think would like. I thought that if I stepped on a spot quietly, I would not take him there, and indeed I would not go anymore.
It is worth a visit. First, I saw the life of Hu Xueyan in an exhibition hall. The house went through an overall introduction of the owner and the repairs. After visiting the former residence, I turned back and saw it again to gain a deeper understanding. The human landscape must be explained. It costs 40 yuan per person to use a headset to explain, which is too expensive! When I borrowed the headset, I returned a small piece of paper similar to a navigation map. The drawing was too rough, and many places were not marked.
