The Qiao Family Compound of the Jin Merchants, who were as wealthy as a nation

In the early Qing Dynasty, the economic status of central Shanxi rapidly rose, replacing southeastern Shanxi. Many Jin merchants depicted as immensely wealthy in various films and TV dramas originated from here. Upon arriving at the famous Qiao Family Compound in Qixian, you will find the courtyards built with grandeur and magnificence, exquisitely crafted. The gray walls and tiles of the buildings appear more imposing compared to those in the south, giving a heavy sense of oppression. When numerous large red lanterns are hung high, the style seems mismatched, but it softens the atmosphere. This place is extremely well-known, and the numerous tour groups greatly affect the experience.
