Historic buildings collected by Jackie Chan to be rebuilt in Anhui

Chan told Xinhua that he is passionate about purchasing and restoring Chinese historic buildings which can no longer be protected in their original location.

"The historic buildings I have purchased faced various problems," he said. "Some of them have been burnt, others to be demolished."

Chan said his team had located professional artisans capable of restoring the architecture, while searching for the right place to relocate them.
