The former residence of Xue Fucheng in Wuxi, a mansion in the garden

Wuxi's fourth stop, the former residence of Xue Fucheng, a key national cultural relics protection unit. A large-scale Qing Dynasty official residence in the south of the Yangtze River, known as the first mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. Xue Fucheng began to build this mansion when he was a third-rank official. According to the Qing Dynasty regulations, his residence hall could not exceed five rooms wide, but the sedan hall of Xue's house had nine rooms, and the revolving building reached eleven rooms. For this reason, when Xue's family built the mansion, they adopted a unique method of dividing the nine rooms into three independent three-room sections with double-row pillars, and the main hall was separated by a carefully crafted hexagonal honeycomb brick thin wall and western-style sliding doors. This practice is unique in the country. As one of the famous people's former residences, residences, and memorial halls in the old city of Wuxi, the former residence of Xue Fucheng is the only place that charges admission fees. It is a 4A scenic spot, but the service and protection consciousness are the worst. The garbage generated by activities is piled up at will, and the connected electrical wires and circuits are randomly connected. The planning of the old city of Wuxi is not very good, and the surroundings of a pile of national treasures are skyscrapers. In the lens, the background of the charming Chinese classical architecture is full of towering steel and concrete high-rise buildings, which feels extremely abrupt and discordant.
