The Feng Renjing residence, a classic example of ancient Hui-style dwellings, was built in 1810 in Hongfei village, Shexian county, Anhui province. This exquisite Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) residence features intricate wood carvings that add artistic flair and a touch of elegance to its design. The house, with its central-hall layout, is a masterpiece of meticulous planning and refined structure.

Now carefully relocated and reconstructed at the Anhui Museum, the Feng Renjing residence continues to showcase the beauty and livability of Hui-style architecture, inviting visitors to explore this harmonious historical blend of art and life.
