Xijiashan Traditional Residence
夕佳山民居
A landlord estate in Jiang'an County from the late Ming and early Qing periods in southern Sichuan. Its more than 100 rooms and ancient nanmu forest are well preserved, making it a "living specimen" of southern Sichuan architecture.
The Xijiashan Traditional Residence is in Xijiashan Town, Jiang'an County. It was first built in the Wanli reign of the Ming dynasty and expanded several times in the Qing dynasty. The estate covers about 10,000 square metres and has more than 100 rooms, including courtyard houses, a opera stage, gardens and watchtowers. Its architectural decoration is exquisite. It is a representative example of a Qing-dynasty landlord estate in southern Sichuan. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit and now houses the Sichuan Folk Culture Museum. The surrounding ancient nanmu and cypress groves are home to many egrets. Admission is subject to on-site confirmation. Allow about 1.5 hours. It is about 50 km from Yibin's urban area, roughly 1 hour by car, and can be combined with the Bamboo Sea.
