Mou's Manor

Mou's Manor is a traditional Chinese residential compound featuring stone carvings, wooden construction, and vernacular architecture spanning different building periods. The complex includes multiple courtyards, stone walls, and handcrafted details distributed throughout the site.

The estate was originally established during the Southern Qi dynasty and underwent multiple phases of reconstruction after damage from late Qing period conflicts. These transformations left traces of different architectural styles visible in its current appearance.

The manor displays traditional Chinese building methods through its courtyards and interior spaces that were handed down over many generations. The spatial arrangement of the structures reflects ancient principles of family organization and daily living.

Visitors can explore the grounds on pathways that lead through different areas while observing stonework and wooden details in the courtyards. A visit allows you to understand the spatial organization of the traditional Chinese residence up close.

The estate served as shelter for local residents during wartime conflict and stands as witness to its importance beyond purely architectural purposes. The walls and buildings are silent witnesses to this turbulent period in the region's history.
