      Fan’s Residence, a district-level cultural relic unit, is the largest residence complex of the Ming Dynasty which is well preserved in Ningbo, covering 2442 m2. It was built by Fan Yi, one of the 17th generation descendants of Fan Zhongyan. On the north-south axis is a wooden compound comprising three halls and two wings. Around it are eave galleries, halls and front porches of the back building. The design of the whole complex takes the Chinese character ming, the abbreviation of Mingzhou (Ningbo).  The Residence was owned by Fan Tingmou, magistrate of Taiwan Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty, a famous figure since he contributed a great share to the institutional improvement of Taiwan.
