The Gao Family Courtyard is located on the Halal Snack Street at Beiyuanmen. It is a brick-and-wood structure courtyard. Construction began during the Chongzhen period in the late Ming Dynasty. It basically took shape in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
Now, in the courtyard, Chinese and foreign tourists are shown the architectural art, home furnishing, brick carving art and couplets of traditional folk houses in the Ming and Qing Dynasties from the perspective of appreciation. Various cultural and artistic forms such as puppet shows, Han and Tang songs and dances were displayed.
The ancestors of the Gao family were mainly engaged in business, and later the ancestor Gao Yuesong entered Beijing to enter the imperial edict. The Empress Dowager ordered the state to allocate funds for renovations, and officials who entered the North Courtyard had to get off their sedan chairs. The great development of the compound was during the Qianlong period. At that time, the third son of the Gao family was pleased to win the second place in the ranking and won the second place in the Qianlong imperial approval. The family is complete in culture, martial arts and business.
