Feng Jicai, member of China's national experts committee for intangible cultural heritage protection, said that in countries such as Sweden, the Netherlands and Switzerland, endangered buildings that cannot be protected in their original places are often relocated to an outdoor museum.

Local governments are now exploring other ways to preserve their buildings.

In Pingyao in north China's Shanxi Province, the local government has been handing out maintenance subsidies to residents since 2017. By last October, over 10 million yuan (1.6 million U.S. dollars) had been spent on the repair of 76 buildings.

An ancestral hall in Yixian County, Anhui Province, has been turned into an antique furniture museum at a cost of 30 million yuan to the local government and private sector.

The situation of these residences is improving, Cheng said.

Not long ago, the outdoor museum sent a photo invitation to Cai, to reassure him that his ancestral home is under good protection and to come to visit when reconstruction is complete.
