Fengtian Ancestral Residence in Pingshan District

A typically Hakka compound, Fengtian Ancestral Residence (丰田世居) was built by the Huang family in 1799 and housed generations of the family.

Standing in front of ancient trees and facing a half-moon pond, the residence is quite spectacular. It follows the Central Plain’s traditional folk houses with its framework, walls, slanted roof and symmetrical architecture.

Patterns of excellent workmanship are evident in the roof, pillars, doors, windows and corridor walls. In addition to housing, the residence also provides a defensible fortress with turrets on four corners and patrol paths on top of its walls.
