Xu Zi Sang Old House Introduction

- Attraction Introduction - The Hsu Tzu-sang Old House, officially named "Ching Yu Tang," is located in the Ren'ai District of Keelung City. It was the residence of Mr. Hsu Tzu-sang, the district chief of Keelung during the Japanese colonial period. The architecture is primarily Han style, with some decorative patterns adopting Baroque architectural elements. In its early days, the north side of the courtyard offered a view of Keelung's inner harbor. Due to years of neglect and weathering, only the remnants of the walls remain today. - Attraction Features - Mr. Hsu Tzu-sang, who served as the district chief during the Japanese occupation, built a two-story Sanheyuan named "Ching Yu Tang" in his later years in the hills of Yutian Village, along with the backyard garden known as "Xiu Yuan," which is surrounded by forests. This old house blends Han and Baroque styles, showcasing the unique architectural aesthetics of the time. Today, a stroll to the ruins of the old house reveals the presence of traditional Han-style round windows resembling bamboo joints, telling the story of its former glory. However, the building has been weathered, leaving only its mottled walls. When visiting, please pay attention to the surrounding environment and quietly appreciate the traces left by history. - Recommended Nearby - After leaving the Hsu Tzu-sang Old House, you can head to the Miaokou Night Market to taste local delicacies from Keelung, perfectly concluding your trip to Keelung.
