Qiao's Compound, Historic residence compound in Qi County, China
The six courtyards and twenty smaller yards contain 313 rooms across 8,700 square meters, surrounded by high defensive walls with watchtowers.
The Qiao family constructed this residence during the Qing Dynasty in 1756, expanding it twice during the Tongzhi and Guangxu periods until 1921.
Stone lion sculptures, wooden carvings, and architectural features throughout the compound demonstrate the craftsmanship of northern Chinese residential design.
The Qiao Family Compound Museum displays over 10,000 artifacts, including agricultural tools, business records, and traditional theatrical props from Ming and Qing dynasties.
The compound layout forms a double 'Xi' character when viewed from above, symbolizing happiness in Chinese culture through its architectural arrangement.
