Fan Family Mansion in Berlin

Fan Family Mansion in Berlin: Located in Berlin Town, about 4 kilometers from Qinghe Town, it was built by Fan Nanxuan, the nephew of Fan Shaozeng. This two-story brick-and-wood courtyard-style building covers an area of over 1,600 square meters. The courtyard is paved with flagstones, and the doors, windows, and corridor pillars are all intricately carved, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and a blend of Chinese and Western cultural elements. It is a classic example of early Republican-era residential architecture in eastern Sichuan.

Lijia Ancient Town: If “Qinghe Ancient Town” is likened to a graceful lady of noble birth, then Lijia Ancient Town is like a delicate maiden of humble charm. Located in Lijia Township, about 5 kilometers from Qinghe Town, it shares similarities with Qinghe Ancient Town such as flagstone-paved streets and European-style colonnades. The street buildings feature brick-and-wood structures with overhanging gables, small blue-tiled roofs, and six-rafter frames, earning it the nickname “Little Qinghe.” Its architectural style not only echoes that of Qinghe Ancient Town but also possesses its own unique characteristics.
