One of the UNESCO World Heritage “Ancient Villages in Southern Anhui”, an ancient village of the Hu clan with over 200 well-preserved Ming and Qing residences; the Memorial Archway of Prefect Hu Wenguang is the landmark at the village entrance, while the embroidery tower of Dafudi and the sequence of the Zhuimutang ancestral hall showcase the Huizhou merchants' ethos of “trading while cherishing Confucian learning”; its density of couplets and inscribed plaques is unmatched in Huizhou, and together with Hongcun it forms a “one quiet, one lively” twin-village route.
