Yangliuqing New Year Painting Museum

The Yangliuqing New Year Painting Museum is a national AA-level tourist attraction.

The Yangliuqing New Year Painting Museum combines exhibition and production functions. It is located to the west of the Shijia Courtyard—the No. 1 Mansion in North China—in Xiqing District, Tianjin, on the site of the ancestral hall (the An Family Ancestral Hall) of An Wenzhong, the founder of the Yangliuqing people who ventured to the Western Camp. The restored and renovated Yangliuqing New Year Painting Museum covers an area of 623 square meters, with a building area of 396 square meters. The museum building is quite distinctive, consisting of 24 rooms in a five-bay, two-courtyard quadrangle. A central passageway divides the entire structure into a northern and a southern courtyard, both laid out identically as quadrangle-style compounds with five-bay facades, east and west wing rooms, raised-beam construction, and double-sloped roofs. All main rooms feature four-panel, five-section lattice doors, while the secondary and end rooms have crabapple-pool-style sill walls at the lower part and lift-and-slide windows at the upper part. The main ridges of the roofs are plain ridges, and the floors are paved with imitation antique blue bricks, reflecting an elegant and classic style.
