Former Residence of Zhao Shiyan

　　The former residence of Zhao Shiyan is situated in Longtan Town, Longdong Township, Youyang County. It spans an area of 1,605 square meters, with a built-up area of 710 square meters. The structure is a Qing Dynasty-style brick-and-wood quadrangle courtyard, consisting of 32 rooms in total. The main gate faces east, while the principal room is oriented north-south. The surrounding rooms are small and elegant. The room to the east of the central hallway served as Zhao Shiyan’s bedroom. Above the main gate of the old residence, there is an inscription handwritten on-site that reads “Former Residence of Comrade Zhao Shiyan.” Within the courtyard stands a statue of Comrade Zhao Shiyan. There are two small inner courtyards, one in front and one behind. The wall facing the main gate is convex in shape and features a vibrant mural of pine and cranes, which beautifully complements the gold-plated plaque hanging in the central hall inscribed with “Family of Qin and Crane.”
