Guangdong Zijin Dabu Tianmei Xinglou 🏢

The Da'bo Tian Meixing Tower, constructed by the Zhong family during the Republic of China era, is a Hakka enclosed house featuring an upper and lower hall, two horizontal wings, three skylights, and four corner towers. The house is two stories high, while the tower stands at three stories, occupying an area of approximately 250 square meters, with a grain platform in front of the house. Its structure consists of a gable wall with a brick and tile framework, flat tile ridges, and a hanging mountain roof. The two-story rhombus-shaped eaves are built with green bricks, and each floor is surrounded by gourd-shaped gunholes. The exterior walls are made of green bricks, with a granite stone foundation. There are three entrances in the front, with the main entrance featuring a concave belly design, wooden door frames, and stone pillows. The words "Meixing Tower" are inscribed on a black stone plaque above the door lintel. The house has cement carved windows in the front, and the interior beams are adorned with wood carvings and colorful paintings. The horizontal house gallery doors are also decorated with colorful painted clay sculptures. Recently, the local government has renovated the Meixing Tower, recognizing its cultural and historical value. 🏠🌄🎨🖼️🚪🗝️🏺🌸
