Xinlu Residence

Came on July 23, 2014. I came here mainly to visit Ma Bufang's former residence, especially "Xinxuan". I saw that the exterior walls were all jade as building materials. It can be imagined that Ma Bufang had many scenery in the northwest. The whole residence is quite complete, basically maintaining the original appearance, if you have the opportunity to visit, it is still not to be missed.

Located in the eastern district of Xining City, very close to Xining Station, it is the private residence of the Republic of China warlord Ma Bufang, named "Xinyi". Now changed to Qinghai Folk Custom Museum. It is the only official residence built in jade in the country. Tickets are 30 yuan. Each courtyard and important hall houses have secret roads connected to each other. Worth visiting.

Ma Bufang Mansion, is a large warlord in the southwest, Ma Bufang's private house, legend, the wall of this house, is built with jade, an absolute luxury house, walk into here to see.

This should be the most worthwhile attraction in Xining City. The Ma Da warlord is really rich and careless. Finally, he took so much gold to run. Now there is no future person in the Ma family. I heard that his grandson is quite rich in real estate in Saudi Arabia. Such people should always limit their children's entry if they have money. The experience of visiting attractions, there are not many staff, but it is super fierce. The tour guides are all reciting lines and sound very uncomfortable. Although most of the places were later repaired, and the furnishings in the house were not what they were, they still felt that the warlords lived in such poor areas of the people. Some things are not well preserved, such as Chiang Kai-shek, Li Hongzhang, Wu Peiqi's words, I don't know if I can see them in the future.

The mansion is located in Chengdong District, Xining City, Qinghai Province, with a large area and scattered. It is said that it was built at a huge cost of capital, and the national 4A-level scenic spot.

Mabufang Mansion is located in Weimin Lane, Dongcheng District, Xining City. It is the official residence of Mabufang, the "Northwest King" of the Republic of China. The Mansion is a typical residential building in the Republic of China, and it is also very magnificent. Some rooms are made of jade, luxurious and exquisite. There are also exhibitions on the history of Ma Bufang family and the customs of the ethnic minorities in the northwest, which can be visited together. The current mansion is not big, and it is about 100 meters across. Because Ma Bufang is a Muslim, the mansion is not facing north and south like traditional buildings, but towards the west side of Mecca. The whole mansion is composed of several small yards. After walking into the scenic spot, you can walk to visit one by one. There are some ethnic costume photo services and souvenirs for sale in the yard, but the content is simple and the price is not cheap. Generally, the time to visit here is about 1-2 hours. The gate of Ma Bufang Mansion is on the east side. From the entrance, you will first come to the east courtyard of the Mansion. The east courtyard is divided into the front yard and the middle yard, which can be visited one by one. As soon as you walk into the yard, you can see the old building with unified style here. There are carved murals on the walls, which are very exquisite. The front yard is the place where Ma's family used to receive guests. There are VIP halls, jade halls, east and west halls, etc. The halls show some old photos and calligraphy and paintings, etc. You can simply visit to understand the history. Among them, the jade hall is the most special, the interior and exterior walls of the whole building are made of jade, very luxurious. In the middle of the front yard, there is also a 1942 American jeep, now tourists can wear military uniforms to take pictures with them, but there is an additional charge. The central courtyard is where Ma Bufang family members live, with several bedrooms and small reception rooms. The most striking thing in the central courtyard is a huge, strange-shaped Taishi chair carved from the roots of a century-old tree, and tourists often go up to sit and take pictures. In addition, there is a huge jade monument in the park, engraved with the word "Xinxuan" inscribed by the president of the National Government Lin Sen, which is also the official name of the mansion. After visiting the middle hospital, you can walk into the yard on the southwest side. This small courtyard is also called the South Building. It was once a son-in-law building, a place where female guests and servants live and stay. It was previously absolutely forbidden for men to enter. Now the small courtyard has been opened as a folk museum, showing some Qinghai minority costumes, as well as items and clothing that Ma Bufang family used in the year, you can visit. Follow the south courtyard and then go to the northeast side, there is a small garden, a room, a security building, etc., you can see the ancient water mill and oil mill and other facilities, and there are tunnels in other yards (the tunnel can only be visited outside, not inside), you can simply visit.
