About Heyang Ancient Residences

Bashimen, the gate commemorating eight successful imperial-examination scholars, leads into the main old street. Side lanes branch toward residential groups, while channels bring water from the stream above the village and return it downstream. At Daqiao Road, a rectangular pond reflects a line of horsehead gables.

The ancestral halls make family relationships visible in architecture. Xuzhu Hall, built by sons for their father, contains elaborate timber carving. Its conservation combines surviving pieces with traditional artisan repairs, showing how the village's craftsmanship has been maintained alongside daily residential use.

What to look for

  • Bashimen and the old street with its branching residential lanes.
  • The pond and horsehead-gabled buildings on Daqiao Road.
  • Xuzhu Ancestral Hall's timber carving and restored architectural details.
