The traditional Chinese houses represented by the Shi's Family Compound with twisted corridor and vivid brick carving show residences in the Qing Dynasty(1644-1911).

Located at the center of Yangliuqing Town, Xiqing district, the Shi Family Grand Courtyard is famous in north China for its grand layout and delicate decorations.

In 1991, Tianjin Yangliuqing Museum was established here to demonstrate the Qing residents' architecture art and traditional folk culture.
