Fenghuang Former Residence of Shen Congwen features the Xiangxi architectural style,As one of the national cultural heritages in Hunan province.

Situated in No.10 on Zhongying Street in Fenghuang Ancient Town, The Former Residence of Shen Congwen is an outstanding culture relic in this town. This residence is the birth-place of Shen Congwen. The residence is a typical spacious ancient courtyard with special tectonic style of Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was constructed over 100 years ago by Shen Congwen’s father when serving in the Qing imperial government. The yard has passed down from generation to generation, experiencing historical vicissitude, and all the glory and honor have passed away with the time. Finally, it was listed as the key culture relic under provincial protection in 1991.

Displaying the calligraphy work, manuscript and the portrait of Shen Congwen, the place has become one of the most popular cultural landscapes of Phoenix Town.
