Museums
Dashu House
Dashu House houses a collection of about 100,000 books, all of them from the personnel collections of Dean Feng Jicai. These books are mainly literature, art, and folk culture books. Many are the only existing copies of books and periodicals, folk documents and letters of celebrities and are therefore very rare and precious.
