Fang Guoyu’s Legacy: A Scholar’s Sanctuary in Lijiang

#chinatrip The Former Residence of Fang Guoyu is a gateway to the cultural and intellectual heart of Lijiang. Walking through its arched stone gate, I was transported back in time. The courtyard, with its aged wood carvings and serene bonsai pots, embodies the wisdom of a scholar who played a key role in preserving Naxi culture. Inside, a bronze statue of Fang Guoyu greets visitors, a humble yet grand reminder of his legacy as a historian. The residence’s collection of writings and displays celebrates his contribution to Chinese literature and his dedication to Naxi heritage. A must-visit for history buffs and culture enthusiasts alike!
