Tangjiyao's former residence, Historical residence in Huize County, China.

Tangjiyao's former residence is a closed courtyard house at 39 Sandao Lane in the old town of Huize, Yunnan. Built in the mid-to-late Qing dynasty, it faces north and covers 850.1 square metres, with 410.1 square metres of floor space. The hard-mountain, through-joint timber structure runs through three successive courtyards: the main hall, the reception hall and the study, then the rear storehouses and kitchen, fourteen rooms in all.

The house was built as a residence for Tang Jiyao, a leading figure in Yunnan Province after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty in the early 20th century. It documents a turning point when regional leaders took on new roles during China's transition.

The residence is now the Tang Jiyao Former Residence Museum, displaying photographs and books on his life and career. Its name links the house to Tang Jiyao, founder of the Yunnan warlord faction during the Republic of China, who lived here for 15 years. The three successive courtyards, from the front hall to the reception hall and study, then the rear granary and kitchen, show how a large household was organised.

The residence stands at No. 39 Sandao Lane, Fengle Community, Gucheng Subdistrict, Huize County, Qujing, Yunnan. The compound faces north and is entered from the north side, passing through three successive courtyards: front hall, reception hall and study, then the rear stores and kitchen. Fourteen rooms open off these courtyards, so allow time to walk the full north-to-south sequence.

The residence is a three-courtyard compound of fourteen rooms, entered from the north: front hall, reception hall and study first, then rear storerooms and kitchen. Tang Jiyao lived here for fifteen years. It has been the Tang Jiyao Former Residence Museum since being listed as a county protected site in 1995, then Qujing city in 2002 and Yunnan province in 2003.
