Wu Jingzhai’s Former Residence, situated in Hefang Street, Hangzhou City, is a historic site that dates back to the early 19th century. This architectural gem showcases a brick and wood construction, embodying the distinctive Jiangnan wall-gate residential style. The compound is characterized by its unique single-door, single-house wall-gate design, which unfolds into a series of three progressive courtyards.
The residence’s former owner, Wu Jingzhai, was a prominent figure in the Hangzhou banking sector during the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China. His influence and legacy are still evident in the city’s financial history.
