What travelers say:

(This attraction is not open for the time being due to renovation) Chongqing's Ciqikou Ancient Town is always bustling no matter morning or evening, regardless of the four seasons, but most of the people who come here are just walking on the road, taste the food and see the beautiful scenery, and deliberately turn in to visit those ancient houses. The courtyard is a few, I also accidentally missed a lot of interesting places, such as Zhongjiayuan. Zhongjiayuan is located at No. 17, Huangjuping 1 Lane, Ciqikou, Shapingba District. It is not far from the big archway of Ciqikou. Turn right. The entire house was built in the late Qing Dynasty, and Zhong Yunting, a court person of the Qing Dynasty, was built in about 1880. On the 650 square meters of area, wood, stone, and wall together to build a quiet space isolated from the outside world, the more inside, the farther the noise, everything becomes calm and quiet. The owner of Zhongjiayuan, Mr. Zhong Yunting, was young and intelligent. After being introduced by relatives and friends, he was hired outside Cixi. He mainly purchased gold and silver jewelry and mountain treasure goods. He was a red person around the Queen Cixi. After returning home, he built this house in Ciqikou. The decorations and furniture inside were beautifully carved. At first glance, the master is expensive. China has been paying attention to men and women since ancient times, and women have not been high. However, this idea has changed dramatically during the era of Cixi. Cixi with its majestic personality, not only in the palace to promote the idea of phoenix on the top, dragon under, even the folk also up and down the effect of popular composition, Zhongjia Courtyard is evidenced. From the bed of Zhong's daughter's boudoir, it can be seen that the phoenix is on the top, the dragon is under the composition, and the dragon body is framed, the image is blurred, and the two colorful phoenixes are flying in the sky, which is very attractive. The size of the sedan chair placed in the house is significantly smaller than the ancient marriage sedan chair. If the adult enters it is quite narrow, but the sedan chair is also related to the married bride, but the seat is not adults but children, that is, children raise the child. Zhongjiayuan is not only a yard, but also a museum. The display of history in this museum is mainly through physical objects and photos. The child-raising sedan chair is a physical object, and there are many photos hanging on the wall. It is naturally indispensable for the scene of the old Ciqikou, old Chongqing, and the end of the Qing Dynasty. Although located in the southwest area, walking in the yard often feels like coming to the northern house. After the Queen Mother Cixi Enzhun Zhong Yunting returned to his hometown to seal his wife's shadow, he asked people in Beijing to design the yard with drawings. Therefore, the yard as a whole seems to be symmetrical and rigorous, quite the charm of the northern courtyard and the royal style, presumably after returning to the countryside Zhong Yunxuan, is often reminded of the glory years in Beijing.
