Print Profile(2)
Description
The Bai Shi Lou in Hu Xueyan's former residence in Hangzhou may be unfamiliar to some;
Hu Xueyan's former residence, located on Yuanbao Street in the east of the Hefang Street and Dajiang Lane historical and cultural protection zone in Hangzhou, was built in the eleventh year of Tongzhi reign in the Qing Dynasty (1872), coinciding with the peak of Hu Xueyan's career. The construction of this grand mansion lasted three years, and it was completed in 1875. The completed residence is a magnificent mansion that is rich in the characteristics of traditional Chinese architecture and yet incorporates elements of Western architectural style. The entire structure extends north-south and east-west, covering an area of 10.8 mu (approximately 7,200 square meters) with a building area of 5,815 square meters. Whether considering the architecture or the elaborate furnishings and materials used, the residence is regarded as the finest mansion of a wealthy merchant in late Qing Dynasty China.
This is a multicolored assembly model that recreates the Bai Shi Lou building from the former residence. It is economical in terms of material usage, simple to assemble, and its multicolored design gives it a charming and petite appearance. We hope you enjoy it.
The model is assembled using glue. The smaller blue pieces represent stained-glass windows; they are quite miniature, requiring careful and meticulous assembly. Alternatively, you can omit the blue parts, creating an attractive openwork effect.
Please give it many likes if you enjoy it~
Due to the abundance of small blue components, assembly proves rather troublesome. Therefore, an alternative configuration has been added. Users with multicolor printing capabilities can opt for one-piece construction of the window frame and blue glass. As the blue layer is merely a surface coating, material usage remains minimal. This alternative offers added convenience.
Purchased an 8x8 gift box online; paired with a printed nameplate, it makes a lovely little present~
