Here, many Qingwa wooden houses, ancient streets and stone alleys in the Ming and Qing Dingguang era have been preserved. Along the stone archway outside the town and the ancient ramp at the foot, pick up the level and go up to the south gate of Qingyan Ancient Town - Dingguangmen. There is a archway of Zhou Wang's-Liu's Day Xiaofang next to Dingguangmen, carved from the whole stone. Built in the Qing Dynasty, it was built to honor the observance of Zhou Chaozhong's wife Wang and daughter-in-law Liu's family. The products of the feudal era admired Wang's and Liu's personality, and deeply felt that the society was unfair to women at that time. There was a delicate "two dragons grab treasure" carved above the beam. The beams above the forehead have relief "Lotus map", the five dragon maps above the map, and the word "sacred order" in the middle, which is still very interesting, and you don't need to buy a joint ticket, you can see it when you turn to the south gate in the ancient town.
