The Ba Weizu Residence

The Ba Weizu Residence is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

The Ba Weizu Residence was originally built in the late Ming Dynasty, facing south with a northward orientation. It consists of east and west halls, and is divided into three sections: front, middle, and rear. Two major renovations were carried out in 1998 and 2005. Covering an area of over 1,000 square meters, the residence has a construction area of approximately 1,500 square meters. Its rear and middle sections respectively serve as living quarters built in the Ming and Qing architectural styles, both featuring three-courtyard compounds with attics, along with an east hall, a west hall, and a rear garden. The front section is a reception hall built in the early Qing style, with eight exhibition rooms displaying over 600 cultural relics. The Ba Weizu Residence features exquisitely crafted architecture that is elegant, solemn, simple, generous, spacious, bright, and rich in traditional Huizhou character. Major renovations were carried out in 1998 and 2005.

On October 7, 2019, the Ba Weizu Residence was included in the eighth batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units.
