The Mansion Of Menglian Pacification Commissioner

The Mansion Of Menglian Pacification Commissioner

Mansion of Menglian Pacification Commissioner is also known
as Mansion of Menglian Chieftain (Menglian is a county of Pu’er
Municipality). First built in 1406, the mansion used to be the
 office of the Chieftain Dao. During the five centuries from
 the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) to the Republic of China (1912-1949),
 28 hereditary chieftains handled political affairs here. This
 mansion is the only ancient architecture combining Dai and Chinese
Han styles in Yunnan Province, covering an area of 12,000 square
 meters. It’s also one of the eighteen well-preserved ethnic
chieftain mansions in the remote frontiers of Yunnan, thus is
 of high values of either art or history research.
