Check in to the first house in the hometown of overseas Chinese in Hainan | Caijiazhai

|Caijiazhai.

Liang Sicheng said: "Chinese people can truly feel spiritually settled when they have their own courtyard." In the stories of Chinese families handed down from generation to generation, a courtyard is always inseparable.
Ji Cai's House is located in Boao Liuke Village, one of the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Villages" in China, and has the reputation of "the first residence in the hometown of overseas Chinese in Hainan". It is a large house with a combination of Chinese and Western blue bricks and colorful walls. It was built by the four brothers Cai Jiasen, Cai Jiajin, Cai Jiahong and Cai Jiabing, Indonesian businessmen. It has 4 courtyards in total, covering an area of ​​more than 400 square meters and a construction area of ​​more than 1,200 square meters. There are various sizes. There are more than fifty rooms. Among them, Cai Jiasen Residence is the largest. In 2006, Caijiazhai was listed as a national cultural relic protection unit. Practical information:
The construction of Cai's House began in 1934. The reinforced concrete, patterned colored bricks and other materials used in the courtyard were shipped back from Indonesia and Hong Kong. There is a thousand-year-old tree, tropical exotic orchard, Tianxin Pond, bluestone well and four houses in the courtyard.
There are nearly 70 kinds of exotic tropical fruit trees in the exotic orchard in the courtyard, including passion fruit, cherry, lotus root, grapefruit and other fruits. I actually saw a Garbo fruit tree, which was very shocking.
