Here, visitors can not only admire the ancient architecture but also learn a wealth of knowledge through free guided tours.
The overall architecture of Hu Qing Yu Tang resembles a crane and can be divided into ‘first entry’ and ‘second entry’ sections, arranged in a ‘front shop, back workshop’ layout.

The business hall is the Hu Qing Yu Tang Chinese Medicine Hall, founded by Hu Xueyan in the 13th year of the Tongzhi era (1874), featuring a Jiangnan residential garden layout, with exquisite materials, exquisite carvings, gorgeous decorations, and well-preserved, making it a rare example of the Qing Dynasty’s ‘front shop, back workshop’ architectural style.
