Kejia Lane
科甲巷
Known as the “Scholars’ Lane” for producing many jinshi and juren scholars in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its mansions with carved wooden gateways and courtyards are well preserved.
Kejia Lane takes its name from the many jinshi and juren scholars who passed the imperial examinations from its homes during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Along the bluestone-paved lane stand mansions such as the “Jinshi Residence” and “Juren Mansion,” where you can admire finely carved wooden gateways, courtyards and lattice windows. Some courtyards have been converted into guesthouses, teahouses and creative shops. Admission is free. Located in the northern part of the old town near Gongji Tower, the lane takes about 30 minutes to explore on foot. Please respect residents when visiting the courtyards.
