About the Yin Yu Tang | a Chinese home
Yin Yu Tang: A Chinese Home is a museum located at 45 Charter Street in Salem, Massachusetts. This historic house was originally built during the Qing Dynasty by a prosperous merchant named Huang in China's Huizhou region. It was home to the Huang family for over 200 years until it was carefully dismantled and transported to Massachusetts in the 1990s.
The house was re-erected on PEM's campus and opened to visitors in 2003, offering a glimpse into the past and recent history of the Huang family. The intricately carved lattice windows, fish ponds, and furnishings passed down through eight generations provide a unique insight into Chinese culture and history.
Visitors can take a self-guided audio tour of Yin Yu Tang, available in English and Mandarin. The house is partially outdoors and may be cool in fall and winter, so it is recommended to store belongings in the coatroom before entering.
Please exercise care while inside the house, refrain from touching objects or the structure itself, and be aware of uneven stonework. Limited wheelchair accessibility is available, so it is best to call ahead for more information.
Enjoy a unique experience at Yin Yu Tang and explore the rich history and culture of the Huang family in this beautifully preserved Chinese home.
Reviews of Yin Yu Tang | a Chinese home
"Built in 1800 China, the year of the Monkey, it was moved to the P.E.M in 2001 one. Well preserved and maintained it is like a small window back in time. There is no guide, a small group is allowed to roam free with an optional audio option if they like. Highly recommend as one of the highlights of the museum!"
