ℹ️ About
The former residence of the Ming travel writer Xu Xiake is in Nanyangqi Village, Xuxiake Town, Jiangyin. Damaged by war at the end of the Ming, it was rebuilt by his great-nephew in the Shunzhi era of the Qing, and the present Ming-style compound dates from a 1985 restoration. Its three courtyards with seventeen rooms display Xu Xiake's life and karst specimens, and the courtyard has a podocarpus more than 400 years old said to have been planted by him as a boy. The site also includes the Shengshui Bridge, the Qingshan Hall stone inscriptions and the Yangsheng Garden. It is a national key cultural relic site.
