Hu Xueyan’s Former Residence, also known as Hu Xueyan’s Former Residence, is located at No. 18 Yuanbao Street, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It was a residence built by Hu Xueyan, a “red-roof businessman” in the late Qing Dynasty. It was built in the 11th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1872) and completed in the first year of Guangxu (1875). It covers an area of 7,230 square meters (about 10.8 acres) and has a construction area of 5,815 square meters. The restoration project was completed from 1999 to 2000 and opened to the public in 2001. The old residence faces south and faces north, and is rectangular in plan.
