On the way to Pingyao, I saw the road sign of Qiao Family Courtyard, so I decided to get off the expressway. Unexpectedly, they stumbled into the ancient city of Qi County by mistake. There is a Qi family compound hidden here, which was called Quban City in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Added something new to this trip.

The He family, once glorious! The expats now occupying it are being relocated. I learned why it is the site of the Wanli Tea Ceremony: It turned out that the He family had two tea mountains in Hunan, and the main tea business places were in Hubei, Tianjin, Beijing, and Xi'an. Qi County was the ancestral home, and Jinan also had a tobacco factory. The carved beams and painted buildings are still there, things are different...

This ticket number has played an active role in the development of modern industry, and the ticket number has gone through 72 years.

Friends who like the original flavor are worth visiting. There is no development, and the residents still live and live in the ancient city. At least one day should be reserved. There are many ancient courtyards. I only went to one courtyard and it took three hours. I live in the ancient city, and I don't know if the name of the inn can be kept here, so I won't say the name.
