Zhujia Garden is located on Hanlin Street in Jianshui Old Town. I went to build water many times, and I repeatedly went through the door, because I saw the bustling tourists, too lazy to join in the fun. This time, seeing fewer tourists, I really bought a ticket and walked into the big house with the title of Southwest Side Grand View Garden. A ticket of 35 yuan is also good. Zhujia Garden was built in the early years of Qing Guangxu. The ancestors of the Zhu family moved to Jianshui, Yunnan, from Mayang in Hubei during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. They bought land and opened up mines. In the early years of Qing Guangxu, the construction of a home ancestral hall in Jianshui City, an area of more than 30 acres more than 20,000 square meters, in the construction of this southwestern small town, can be called a big hand. Into the Zhujia Garden, the large house sits south facing north, and the entrance is the main door of the hanging flower. As can be seen from the floor plan of the foyer, the main building of the garden-style large house is in the form of "vertical four horizontal and three" layout. It is a typical "three rooms with six ears and three halls, a large patio with four small patios". Combined construction. The layout of the building is well-ordered, such as "Mei Pavilion", "Lan Ting", "Bamboo Garden", "Chrysanthemum Garden" and other courtyards. The entire building is steeply ridged, carved and painted, beautiful and elegant. The 10 "staying feet" along the left side of the main entrance of the Zhujia Garden are connected to the "horse running corner" behind it, and the "Zhu Hengtai" total trade name. On the right side is the family ancestral hall, and then to the back is the inner court. In front of the temple, there is a water stage and a winding path in one of the pools. Traffic Tips

Zhu Family Garden
With a history of more than 1200 years, Jianshui is an ancient town in Yunnan province that’s abundant in culture and heritage. The whole area is filled with ancient buildings and historical architecture that gives it character and a vibrancy that’s doesn’t fail to impress. ⠀ ⠀ While here, pay a visit to Zhu’s Family Garden. An architectural complex that simply oozes elegance. With over 100 years of family history, the Zhu Family Garden is an incredible place to wander through, but can often feel like a bit of a maze. It took 30 years to complete, and the entire garden covers an incredible 20,000 square meters. With 42 different courtyards to explore, you could easily spend half a day here just exploring all the different nooks and crannies, and pretending (or wishing) that you owned a garden as elaborate as this one.⠀ ⠀ Jianshui is also renowned for its tofu. An astonishing fact that we learned during our trip was that the local community still use fresh water collected from ancient wells scattered throughout the village. The water from each of these wells is used for different things, for example soaking the soybeans in preparation for making tofu!⠀ ⠀ Just next to an old well, Ximen Daban, is the Da Ban Jin (大板井) tofu factory. Inside, we saw a group of ladies forming tight little squares of freshly made tofu - using just their hands and a small cheese cloth - at lightening speed. Steaming buckets of freshly made beancurd are in constant rotation, and the sweet smell of steamed soy bean lingers in the air.⠀ ⠀ Once all packaged up, these tofu squares are shipped off to different restaurants where, to serve, these squares are left to dry a little bit before being grilled to perfection.⠀ ⠀ 📍Zhu Family Garden, Jianshui, Yunnan Province 📍 Da Ban Jin (大板井) Tofu Factory, Jianshui, Yunnan Province, China. 📍Jianshui, Yunnan, China⠀ #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel
