Shanxi's second Online Media Tour draws to an end Friday with a visit to the Qiao's Grand Courtyard,  the dwelling house of a big business family surnamed Qiao in Shangxi province from the end of Qing Dynasty (1636-1911) to 1930s.

The compound became a hot tourist spot after the filming of a popular TV series named after it. The movie,"Raised the Red Lantern",by Chinese director Zhang Yimou, used this building as the film's setting.
