Take a Virtual Tour of Yin Yu Tang

“Yin Yu Tang” is the name of a house built 200 years ago in the small village of Huang Cun in southeastern China, approximately two hundred and fifty miles from the city of Shanghai. The owner, a prosperous merchant, was a member of a locally prominent family surnamed Huang. Their home village sits among the hills in the Huizhou region, long known for its enterprising merchants, imposing mountains, and distinctive architecture.
