The residential house at No. 11 Yujing Lane is a Yangzhou Municipal Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

The residential house at No. 11 Yujing Lane is located at No. 11 Yujing Lane in Yangzhou City and dates back to the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican period.

Located at No. 11 Yujing Lane, this residence from the late Qing and early Republican period features a water-milled brick-carved gate tower with “peacock and peony” brick carvings. The gate tower is a four-bay hall. Entering through the main gate, the residence is divided into eastern and western sections. The eastern section has a three-courtyard residence, appearing as three bays externally but actually consisting of four, connected by a central courtyard. The first section of the western side is the entrance hall, five bays wide; the second is the flower hall, also five bays wide; the third and fourth sections are residences that appear as three bays externally but contain five, respectively. The wooden fittings such as ?? panels in this architectural complex are well preserved. There used to be a garden, which no longer exists, with only some remnants remaining.

On January 8, 2008, the Yangzhou Municipal People's Government designated it as part of the fourth batch of municipal-level cultural relics protection units in Yangzhou.
