Wang Family Compound, Ancient residential complex in Lingshi County, China.

The Wang Family Compound extends over 250,000 square meters with 231 courtyards and 2,078 rooms arranged across five lanes and six fortresses.

During the Yuan Dynasty in 1312, the Wang family relocated from Taiyuan to Jingsheng village and constructed this residence between 1661 and 1820.

The compound contains traditional northern Chinese architecture with detailed wood carvings, stone sculptures, and rooms arranged according to social hierarchy.

Visitors can reach the compound through direct tourist buses or high-speed trains from Pingyao, with travel times ranging from 15 to 90 minutes.

The Hongmenbao section features 88 courtyards arranged in a pattern that forms the Chinese character for 'Wang' when viewed from above.
