Historical Wood-Stone Building Goes Up In Flames

This is the moment a Qing Dynasty mansion erected with wood and stone goes up in flames with the raging fire illuminating the night sky.

The distressing scenes were captured in the city of Tongren in China's south-western Guizhou Province, where thousands of witnesses gathered to watch as the estate known as Chen Gongguan was swallowed by the blaze.

Footage shows the entire building burning brightly as the fire engulfs the entirety of the structure from the inside out.
