Former Residence of Gan Xi
Former Residence of Gan Xi, Imperial residence in Nanjing, China.
The Former Residence of Gan Xi contains more than 300 rooms spread across multiple courtyards, displaying traditional Chinese architectural elements and stone carvings.
The residence dates back to the Jiaqing Emperor period between 1796 and 1820, when Gan Fu, the father of Gan Xi, established this grand property.
The building functions as the Nanjing Folk Museum, exhibiting collections of Yixing clay teapots, paper cutting art, miniature engravings, and Chinese opera designs.
The residence stands within walking distance north of Sanshanjie Station on the Nanjing Metro, with guided tours explaining the architectural features.
The residence contains ninety-nine and a half rooms, following a tradition that prevented regular citizens from owning one hundred rooms, a number reserved for emperors.
