A lavish late-Qing merchant mansion with carved woodwork, ornate courtyards, small ponds and winding gardens — ideal for detail shots, architectural frames and intimate garden scenes. Shoot early morning or late afternoon for warm side-light and fewer tourists; overcast days help render carvings and textures. Centrally located in Shangcheng, entry requires a ticket and paths are narrow—bring a lightweight tripod. Limited on-site parking; best reached by taxi or metro + short walk. Respect rules:
