This is a truly living ancient residence from the Ming Dynasty, a cultural relic that still breathes gently to this day. It was originally built during the Wanli period and served as the former residence of Luo Xiyin, the 23rd generation ancestor of the Luo family in Chengkan, Huizhou, and the prefect of Meizhou in Sichuan. Therefore, it is reverently referred to as the Prefecture of Meizhou Prefect in the Xinan Zhi. After enduring more than four hundred years of trials and tribulations, the beams and pillars are filled with the whispers of time. Today, it is not only listed as a key cultural relic under state protection but has also transformed into an elegant residence that welcomes contemporary travelers with open arms.We have always adhered to the philosophy of protection as the foundation, revitalization and utilization, allowing history to continue its vitality in the contemporary era. Since 2013, with the original intention of retracing historical trajectories and savoring Huizhou culture, we have undergone a comprehensive and prudent protective restoration of the ancient residence over nearly three years. By 2025, we entered a deeper stage of revitalization, with the core focus on balancing ancient and modern, enjoying comfort in tranquility. The introduction of all modern facilities strictly follows the premise of not disturbing the original structure and not obscuring the original style. Therefore, while the Ming Dynasty wooden structure, colorful paintings, and calligraphy treasures are well preserved, modern comforts such as a wet and dry bathroom system, smart toilets, Australian natural plant-derived toiletries, and fully covered silent central air conditioning have been quietly integrated, allowing the weight of history to harmoniously coexist with physical and mental relaxation.The current Prefectural Residence covers an area of over 700 square meters, with nine winding corridors cleverly connecting three independent courtyards. Every step brings a new view, and the winding paths lead to secluded spots. The preserved carved beams and painted rafters, hanging lotus and columns, Ming Dynasty pastel paintings, gold-painted plaster walls, and exquisite woodcarvings and ink paintings on the main building all silently symbolize the past grandeur and elegance.The essence of its space lies in the original preserved study of the prefect, known as the Flower Basket Hall. The hall derives its name from its shape, with the second-floor framework resembling a carrying basket. The surrounding walls are adorned with seasonal flowers painted by literati, as if birds are chirping amidst them, and the scenery is precisely within the basket. You can also stay in the Fushou Hall suite, which features a private courtyard, enjoying absolute tranquility and privacy. You can personally experience the elegance of the Ming and Qing Dynastys exquisite gold-decorated and carved eight-step bed, appreciate the authentic works of great calligraphers and the charm of the six-panel mural paintings up close, and savor a more comfortable and pleasant retreat than hiding in a small building to become one with the world.In addition, the residence features a Ming-style tea house, blending Chinese and Western fireplaces with Huizhou-style stoves. Here, you can enjoy tea and chat with friends, or toasting and discussing heroes, experiencing the leisurely social fun of blending ancient and modern elements.Upon entering this study from the Ming Dynasty, one finds oneself amidst towering walls and deep courtyards, listening to the advice on personal conduct imparted by the ancients. Here, one can find solitude amidst greenery and the fragrance of tea, calming ones restless heart. What is offered here is not merely a peaceful nights sleep, but also a tangible, habitable, and immersive journey back in time, a profound dialogue with history and oneself.
