Mu Family Courtyard

穆氏四合院

The largest and best-preserved Qing-dynasty residential courtyard in the Shangqiu old city, with finely detailed brick and wood carvings.

The Mu Family Courtyard was the residence of the Mu family, Qing-dynasty officials. Multiple courtyards extend along a central axis. The main halls, wing rooms and front halls are well preserved. The brick carvings on the gatehouse and the wood carvings on the roof beams are highlights, and the courtyard is regarded as a representative example of eastern Henan residential architecture. Rooms are furnished and display folk customs, offering a view of daily life in a wealthy old-city household. It sits in the central part of the old city, just over 100 meters from the Confucian Temple. Admission follows the scenic area's posted prices, and it is often sold as a combined ticket with Zhuanghui Hall.
