Ancient Moon-Gazing Inn

Inspired by the Song Dynasty era, this architectural model recreates an Ancient Moon-Gazing Inn with authentic period details. The 1,530-piece set captures the elegant design of traditional Chinese buildings through two interconnected structures joined by a bridge.

The model features 9 minifigures including the famous poet Su Dongpo alongside period characters such as a farmer, inn owner, chef, teahouse owner, musician, businessman and local townspeople. These figures bring the historical setting to life and enable storytelling based on community life from this era.
