Ganfu consists of four groups of adjacent multi-hall-style ancient buildings. The ancient building covers an area of more than 9,500 square meters, with a building area of more than 5,400 square meters. All the buildings in this building face south.
The architectural features of Ganfu blend north and south, which not only has the elegance of "Xiaoqing brick horse head wall, cloister and lattice window" but also has the rich flavor of "Kuaima Building" in the north. Xi Mansion is the largest and most well-preserved private residence in Nanjing, with high historical, scientific and tourism value.
Features:
Each group of buildings in Ganfu is separated by a horse-headed wall. The floors in the courtyards and patios are patterned with slate, bricks, tiles or pebbles. The larger courtyards are dotted with rocks, flowers and trees.
The doors and windows, beams, ceilings, railings, partitions, floors and other places of the building are decorated with wood carvings or brick carvings, with rich themes, including figures, flowers and birds, animals, figures, folk stories, myths and legends, etc. The pattern is exquisite, which means good luck.
