Kang Baiwan Manor.

๐Ÿ‰Kang Baiwan Manor, a huge manor built by the Kang family in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was home to the Kang family for 13 generations. The family started as local officials in the late Ming Dynasty, but as the government became corrupt, they started a shipping business, accumulated wealth, and became landlords. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, they hosted Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, who were fleeing to Xi'an and then returning to Beijing, which made them famous. ๐Ÿ‰The Kang family was charitable and often helped the local poor. They donated money to build water conservancy projects to resist floods. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, they joined the May Fourth Movement. During the Anti-Japanese War, they sold their property to raise funds for the war. The family has always valued education and has been prosperous for a long time. The existing manor buildings are well preserved, and walking in them is like being in Qing society. There is a castle in the garden, which is a typical house fortress wall. The rockery, ancient trees, and carvings are everywhere, and you can feel the luxurious heritage. They also formed a group to defend their homes during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณExperience 5,000 years of Chinese civilization and inherit Chinese civilization
