Qiao Family Courtyard: The legendary Shanxi merchants within a large courtyard

The Qiao Family Courtyard is a stop worth making a special stop in the former residence of Shanxi merchants. In one day, between the Qiao Family Courtyard and the brick-carved screen wall, you will encounter the unique atmosphere of the Qiao Family Courtyard.

Before even venturing deep into the Qiao family estate, the presence of the Qiao family compound had already arrived. From afar, seeing that scene, even the fatigue from traveling quietly eased, and he just wanted to stand a little longer.

The brick-carved screen wall is the most visually stunning part of the Qiao family courtyard. Following its veins slowly, every corner hides a different expression, stretching time and space here.

Avoiding the crowds and slipping into the main hall, the Qiao Family Courtyard reveals its true self. The elderly, the alley, the stove, and the laughter all enter the memory before the scenic spots do.

After nightfall, the folk exhibition at the Qiao Family Courtyard is lit up, and the warm yellow light turns the grandeur of the day into gentleness. Sitting down and doing nothing is also a form of arrival.

When leaving the Qiao family estate, I felt a bit reluctant, but the one replaying in my mind was the Qiao family estate. But it was precisely this reluctance that proved this trip was worthwhile—it quietly left a part of itself with you.
