A complex of Ming-dynasty Hui-style dwellings dismantled and rebuilt on one site, clustered at the foot of Zixia Mountain as a 'Ming-dynasty manor'; as the saying goes, 'For imperial palaces go to Beijing, for folk residences come to Qiankou.' It is a concentrated showcase of the three Huizhou carving arts (wood, brick and stone carving) — free yet packed with substance.
