Folk House

In the Muslim Quarter we found this Folk House, which is a restored courtyard home. This historic residence now serves as an art gallery, entertainment center, and teahouse. It was originally the home of the Qing bureaucrat Gao Yuesong. We went with a friend who was visiting from Wuhan and found it to be quite charming. It is very tastefully restored having reception rooms, bedrooms, servants' quarters, an ancestral temple, and a study.  It also has an optional shadow puppet show, which we will reserve for another blog post.
