Residences in Zhushan are built around and facing the big pond, with the ancestral temple being the focal point. In addition to the Xue Brothers' Mansion, prominent houses include the “Xia San Luo”, “Dai Fu Di”, “Xue Yong Mai Mansion” and the “Xue Jian Fang Mansion”, What’s better than taking a stroll around the pond and the alleys while appreciating the traditional architecture and the wisdom of our forefathers and soaking in the tranquility of village life?
