Ma's Manor is divided into two scenic spots, one left and one right, one side is the former residence of Ma Yuyao, and the other is the former residence of his son Majimei. Ma's Manor is located in Xijiang Village, 20 km west of Anyang City, Henan Province. It was the residence of Mazhao Yao, the governor of Guangdong in the Qing Dynasty. It was built in the early Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China and is well preserved. It covers an area of over 20,000 square meters. Among them, the building area is more than 5,000 square meters, which is called the architectural specimen of the feudal official residence of Zhongzhou Land and the first official residence of the Central Plains. The manor building is all brick and wood structure, gray tile roof. The roof is mostly hard-top, with hanging mountains and flat tops. Its architectural features include the characteristics of Beijing's traditional courtyards, the local folk architecture of the Central Plains, and the characteristics of Shanxi carving art. Another notable feature is that, regardless of the main room, most of the rooms have front porches, while others have front and rear corridors, which form a gallery corridor, and the courtyards are connected, especially in rainy and snowy days. Ma Yuyao's former residence, the first thing we saw was the "Jinshidi" plaque. The emperor gave Ma Zhen Yao Jinshi a birth, and his four friends made this plaque for him! Ma's Manor is divided into six roads, including the temple and the courtyard of the fourth. The west wing of the Sanjinyuan was the place where Emperor Cixi and Emperor Guangxu stayed at the Ma's Manor in 1902. Four hospitals, where the owner Ma Yaoyao lived. The bed displayed in it was the authenticity used by Emperor Guangxu in the past, and it was carved from some ebony wood. South District is a courtyard where the third son Majimei was in the Republic of China for 13 years and completed in 1924. The same is the four-door courtyard.
