The family lived in [[Yangliuqing]], a town not far from downtown Tianjin, for over 200 years. It is said that, during the reign period of [[Emperor Jiaqing]], the Shi family owned thousands of hectares of land and 500 houses.<br /> [[File:Courtyard of Shi Family.jpg|thumb|Courtyard of Shi Family]]<br /> [[category:tourism]]</div>
