Taipei Attractions

芑豐居(李芑豐古宅)

The most magnificent historic house in Jinshan is Qifeng Residence. The owner was once one of the wealthiest in northern Taiwan, known as Li Bugong. According to the Qing Dynasty system, besides temples and ancestral halls, only officials or families who passed the imperial examinations were qualified to build houses with decorative gable roofs. This Li Qifeng ancient residence likely belonged to a官宦 family, allowing it to be built into such a grand and exquisite home. It is a typical Sanheyuan style with a rectangular main building and dragon-shaped guardians on both sides, exuding an impressive aura. Notably, the front yard still preserves a rare crescent-shaped feng shui pond, which is uncommon in Taiwan today!

Chih-Feng Residence (Li Chih-Feng Historical House) Introduction

Located in the Jinshan District of New Taipei City, the Li Qifeng Old House, a Min Nan-style three-compound building with a history of about 200 years, is the most well-preserved and luxurious example of its kind in the North Coast area. It is said that the owner of Qifeng Residence, Li Bu, immigrated from Zhangzhou in 1802 to cultivate land in Taiwan, starting from scratch to become wealthy and renowned, rumored to be one of the richest and most prominent figures in areas like Jinbaoli at that time. Upon entering Qifeng Residence, a crescent-shaped pond lies in front, and an orchard is situated behind. The Feng Shui design aimed at seeking wealth and prosperity is fully manifested within this ancient house. According to Qing Dynasty customs, ordinary people's houses could not have decorative curved roofs, and only officials or those who passed the imperial examinations were qualified to build such decorative eaves. However, Qifeng Residence features a magnificent curved roof, highlighting the owner's power and achievements. The intricate cut-and-paste decorations on the roof are also highly sophisticated. Currently, there are still residents living in Qifeng Residence, and as long as you do not disturb them, you are welcome to visit.
