Tangyicun Jinshi Mansion in Xingning, Guangdong

The Jinshi Mansion covers an area of nearly 22,000 square meters, with the main building being 150 meters wide and 108.9 meters deep, occupying a land area of about 14,835 square meters. The Jinshi Mansion was initially built by the 18th generation ancestor of the Wang family, Pingyu Gong, in the 25th year of the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty (1760), and it took three generations and 50 years of continuous expansion to complete its current scale. The mansion faces south and is built in the layout of three halls, eight horizontal sections, and two enclosed courtyards forming a 'surrounding dragon house', with 28 skylights, 3 halls, 6 alleys, 2 heping (grain drying areas), and a horizontal house on the right side with 6 rooms used as an academy, in front of which there is a heping and a pond. The entire house is a two-story building with 300 rooms on each floor. The exterior is fortified with rammed earth walls, while the interior structures are made of earth and wood, with gray walls and tiled surfaces, and hard mountain-style roofs. The slightly arched flower head is paved with green bricks, making it a large 'chessboard-shaped surrounding dragon house'. This house is the largest and best-preserved Hakka enclosed house within the territory of Xingning City. In January 2014, the Jinshi Mansion was announced by the Meizhou Municipal People's Government as the second batch of Meizhou City Cultural Relics Protection Units.
