The outer appearance is classic Huizhou-style (a cultural school popular among Huangshan City, Jixi County and Wuyuan County), but the inner decorations and constructions combine local skill of wood carving, brick carving and stone carving as well.
In this town, precious historical relics can be found here and there. If you are interested, you can visit Mao’s Courtyard, Former Wu’s Residence, Liu Xuan Primary School and You Long Memorial Hall, etc. Those are typical local residential houses in town with a long history. You may walk in lanes to feel the peaceful and leisure life of this place.
