Ancient Roadway

During the Song and Yuan Dynasty, the state and the building of the town became the political, economic, cultural center and military center of the ancient eastern region, and it was gradually developed by people. The people and horses stationed here brought the architectural style and architectural skills of their hometown to this place. People are on the mountain, built a variety of mountain buildings and many deep house courtyards due to local conditions, as well as the famous "crooked gate (evil) road" and maze-like lane network.

The orientation of the old house door is crooked, slanted against the alley, and will not be parallel or vertical with the alley. The alley is also twisted and twisted. This crooked and slanted, it is said to follow the fengshui statement, pay attention to "the wealth is not white". 'Crooked door evil way' is very interesting!
