The Li Family Mansion in Wannian, Yuncheng, is a household of great virtue, featuring a courtyard that combines Chinese and Western architectural styles

I'm preparing to check off all the attractions included in the Yuncheng tourism annual pass, and I've already visited most of them. I plan to create a series collection to see which attractions are worth visiting and which are not, how much time it takes to tour each site, and whether there are any additional costs involved. Stay tuned for my updates if you're interested❤️❤️❤️ 🧡Touring time is about 2-3 hours 💛Free admission with the tourism annual pass 💙Convenient parking, parking lot 🅿️ charges 10 yuan for cars 💚You can finish the tour in just one morning, and it's definitely worth a visit. The brick carvings and wood carvings inside are exquisite, and the side exhibition hall introduces the charitable deeds and the history of the Li family's rise to wealth. A few points that made a deep impression on me are: The screen wall with 365 'goodness' characters, composed of 365 different fonts of the character for 'goodness', forms a grand screen wall that looks very spectacular, truly befitting a family known for its virtue. The ancient anti-theft door, which is beautifully designed and user-friendly, makes one marvel at the wisdom of the ancients. The door is full of mechanisms, and it feels even more secure than modern security doors. Mrs. Mai's European-style two-story loft, a feature not found in other Jin merchant mansions, combines Chinese and Western architecture, with southern Shanxi cave dwellings and European Gothic-style gatehouses, creating a unique blend. The carvings on several gatehouses near the private school, with wood carvings on several layers, each representing different auspicious meanings: good fortune, many sons and blessings, five fortunes coming to the door... Make sure to take a close look at the patterns when you visit, they are very interesting. Another surprising point is the large area of courtyards at the back, each courtyard actually has small doors connecting to each other!!!
