A Visit to Zhang Jingjiang’s Former Residence in Nanxun

#discoverchina #nanxun Stepping into Zunde Hall, Zhang Jingjiang’s former residence in Nanxun Ancient Town, I was deeply moved by his extraordinary legacy. Known as one of Nanxun’s “Four Elephants,” Zhang used his vast family fortune to fund the 1911 Revolution, earning praise from Sun Yat-sen as “China’s Most Extraordinary Man.” Built by his grandfather, the Qing-style compound features a symbolic “three-rows, five-bays” layout, with ascending courtyards representing “rising step by step.” Intricate carvings, brick murals, and calligraphy by Zhou Mengpo reflect the family’s values and artistry. Walking through these halls, I felt the weight of history—this was where a merchant prince turned revolutionary once strategized. The residence blends wealth, culture, and patriotism, leaving visitors awed by Zhang’s sacrifice and vision. A must-visit for anyone seeking to understand China’s modern transformation. Entrance Ticket:20RMB
