And while some of the old house deep in the foothills of the mountain gem, even by the roadside signs to look for, nor be able to find them.
Location: North Road 32,
History: 140-year-old old house
owner: old Jiangnan house
Kennedy 32, North Pao mountain villa to hide behind the white walls in a high, if not careful people can easily ignore the looks Some old, messy place. There is now also Home to several families, with many old houses, like most of the people here are people from outside, and if, when the afternoon came here, mostly behind closed doors, and occasionally one or two elderly people sitting outside the villa chat with the big door, you go find out on, the answer mostly is" do not know" words.
current by Yu in" Kennedy Pao villa-Tau and the Maple Leaf," a paper described here" davidiana enchanting, apricot Jiaoqie, Begonia lovely, cherry Shaoxiu, Chiba peach Fu Lai."
Now, this view had already dying, known as the" Xiao Lianzhuang," the firm Pao House still stands alone in the West Lake side, silently waiting for the passage of time.
West Lake in the decline of aristocratic villas
decline in the courtyard Pao villa known as Xiaolian Zhuang Jian, also known as small Liuzhuang, was the first West Liuzhuang's younger brother, a park. It is located in the foot gem, was built in the late Republic of China, is a Chinese-style manor house.
Xiao Lianzhuang Hangzhou is famous villa in the twenties and thirties model, as the richest man in Huzhou Nanxun Liu Jiangnan, the name symbolizes the time the Late Qing Dynasty, China's largest" real estate" one, in Shanghai, Liu's family created the real estate industry for half as much as Kazakhstan was with Shanghai's most famous, and now people see Shanghai Shikumen, garden Liu houses all with a strong mark.
small Liuzhuang, or a Xiaolian Zhuang, Liu in Hangzhou is the development of a villa community, although this is not Xiaolian Zhuang Nanxun Xiao Lianzhuang as fame, the Liu family in Hangzhou, but as the development of one of the earliest of the other industry, Xiao Lianzhuang even more compact and sophisticated.
and in architectural history, history of Xiaolian Zhuang is a villa development and industrialization, Chinese and Western and other words associated with the villa. Qing Dynasty as the development of villas, Xiao Lianzhuang have a lot behind the house has the same appearance, but as the first Chinese and Western villa, it is also conservative, in red brick, brick, arched windows, pitched roof, garden side all with a strong Chinese flavor, while the villa was completely Western-style railings, lobby, in turn showing a Chinese form.
Chen from the week in the" West Lake Little Liuzhuang" wrote:" Little Liuzhuang small footprint, building a small garden is small, rockery flowers and neat delivered, named small Liuzhuang." According to the" Hangzhou-pass" record:" Park is the number of housing Ying, partial car a few, winding corridors, flowers and trees. is the whole house balcony railings with the 'Caine Pao' Zhuanwen cast, left into the House for the faint-free, celebrity intramural stone embedded. floor west pavilion, together with the stone table, stone stool. mountain facing the lake, the scenery is superb."
Now, recorded in ancient books in this small garden rockery still, and still the water garden, but because fewer people are taken care of, these are recorded in past literary beauty of the color has faded . If you ask the residents living here, who know this is old home, most of them will say:" do not know." Most telling you this is before the wealthy family living in the house only.
modern on the lack of historical memory, the status of the old house so that more vague, confused. Not as good as 50's West Lake Yaochuan the Shaogong, but also often gestures with your fingers in the air, then look for a boat of tourists said:" The east section of North Road are Nanxun Liu's house."
experienced the vicissitudes of history in the accident, the house and people, all have the same situation. 70s of last century, Hangzhou city, many people have to live in West Lake assorted foot of the mountain villa. Of course, this chaotic year of living completely without the homeowners living in the quality of life, a building inhabited by seventy to eighty families, re-covered cottage available to people living longer, often to see a villa estate , clothes every now and then, smoke everywhere.
Thus, in North Road 32, behind a long white wall, an old house like a come down in a large family of children , although the appearance of some broken, but was then that the heart is still handsome aristocratic boy, are you.
