Xingning's Zhouxing Village in Guangdong is home to the Di Hua Wei enclosure

Di Hua Wei, also known as Diao Cuifeng, covers an area of 11,278 square meters. Funded by the six brothers of the Diao family's twentieth generation—Li Wu, Hui Chuan, Ban Qin, Shun Yu, Xuan Gao, and Yue Chi—construction began in the spring of the third year of the Republic of China (1914) and was completed in the eleventh year (1922). Di Hua Wei faces from the southwest to the northeast and features a layout with three halls, four lateral sections, one central beam, and a surrounding dragon structure at the four corners, known as a 'four-cornered dragon house.' In front of the building, there is a grain drying area and a pond; inside, there are 16 halls, 21 courtyards, and 274 rooms. The three sides of the enclosure are two-story verandas, with a central beam that is also a two-story veranda. There are six stone staircases leading up and down on all four sides, and the rear building is a semi-circular enclosure with two floors, interconnected all around on the upper level. Each building is supported by round stone columns, with stone balustrades (made of celadon) on the upper floors and flower beds below. The courtyards inside the house are quite spacious, with fighting doors on both sides. On October 20, 2012, Di Hua Wei was announced by the People's Government of Guangdong Province as the seventh batch of Guangdong Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Units.
