Tourist Information
The Qiao Family Courtyard House was the home of a powerful trading family with significant commercial influence even beyond Shanxi. It was in this mansion that Zhang Yimou's famous film 'Raise the Red Lantern' was filmed. Located some 40km north of Pingyao, the compound is fortified behind a 10m high wall. It is now one of the most popular tourist attractions in Pingyao. Another popular site is the Wang Family Courtyard House. This was the Wang clan's private residence and is four times larger than Qiao's, with 54 courtyards and 1,052 rooms. The mansion took over half a century to build and is located on a hilly area.
