context_page_description: Puankhequa, also known as Pan Wenyan or Zhencheng, was a Chinese merchant and member of a cohong family, which traded with the Europeans in Canton during the Qing dynasty. He owned a factory in the Thirteen Factories district where his firm was favored by the English, Swedes, "Imperials" and Danes.
context_section_description: The mansion where Puankhequa lived in the Haizhu District of Guangzho has been recognised as important. The Chinese government planned in 2011 to renovate the 200 hectares (2.0 km²) site and make it available as a tourist attraction. Over the years it has been divided and sub-divided into spaces for both business, manufacturing and living. The government plan to restore the interior and renovate the wooden carvings and the faded paintings which are still extant.
  Puankhequa II was included in an 1807 painting of a joint British and Chinese court, which was set up in October 1807, to try English sailors who had killed a Chinese person. One sailor from the ship "Neptune" was convicted and over 50 others were released. The convicted sailor was later released.
