[2024 Huzhou Stay] Travel Guide for Shangjing Hotel (Huzhou Nanxun Old Town) (Updated Dec)
Zhejiang Nanxun - Zhang Jingjiang's Former Residence.
The architecture and displays in the residence showcase Zhang Jingjiang's life and revolutionary activities. The main hall, called "Zunde Hall," was used to receive guests. Inside, there are photos, letters, and appointment documents of Zhang Jingjiang, showcasing his interactions and collaborations with revolutionary leaders like Sun Yat-sen. The residence's architecture is unique, with exquisite brick, wood, and stone carvings, serving as historical relics for studying Zhang Jingjiang's life, holding significant historical and cultural value. Zunde Hall retains the traditional Qing Dynasty three-entry five-room ancient architectural style, with one hall and five rooms in each entry, each separated by an open sky, and each hall elevated by one level, commonly known as "step by step." Each entry is connected by vertical fire lanes for fire prevention. Zunde Hall exudes a luxurious, ancient, and profound atmosphere. The firewalls are higher than the roof, with dragon-scale-like small green tiles covering the sloped roof, and the eaves are covered with drip tiles for drainage and wind protection.
