Old House with New Rhythm: Reflections of Time in Xi'an Gao Family Courtyard

#SeptemberGoodPlaces2025
Tucked away in the alleys of Huifang, the Gao Family Courtyard, its gray bricks and black tiles, speak of the prosperity of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Stepping inside, the courtyard reveals a well-organized quadrangle, where carved wooden windows and bluestone floors complement each other, creating a quaint and elegant atmosphere. Strolling along the corridors, the faint sound of Qinqiang opera echoes through the air, like the echoes of time.
The antique artifacts, calligraphy, and paintings displayed within the courtyard add a touch of cultural flair. The afternoon sun shines on the stone table in the center of the courtyard, and the fragrance of tea and wood blends, making one feel as if they've traveled back a century. This is more than just a house; it's a living history book of Xi'an, allowing one to savor the calm and profound spirit of the old city.
