Located at the top of Shijia Lane, Canglang Mountain House was the main academy of Zhuqiao, built by Yu Zhongxiang in the 23rd year of Emperor Qianlong's reign. Covering about 80 square meters in a rectangular shape, it features meter-high stone foundation walls with carved stone windows. The stone plaque above the main gate is engraved with four bold characters reading "Canglang Mountain House." The lower hall is separated from the upper hall by a screen, with long side rooms on both sides of the courtyard serving as study rooms for male and female students. For better lighting, the courtyard was specifically designed in a vertical style. Above the doorway outside the building are two characters "Bai Shi" (Stone Worship), with an interesting addition of a dot in the character "Shi." Legend has it that the owner imitated Mi Fu, the great calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, who was obsessed with stones and would bow to them as brothers. Another interpretation suggests that the added dot implies "turning stone into gold." To the rear left outside the house stands a two-story building housing a woodblock printing workshop and a book-drying tower. This building served both as a school for village students and as a woodblock printing workshop. It is now a key cultural relic site in Fuzhou City.

Built during the Qing Dynasty, the Lu Xinxing Residence features three rooms wide and two courtyards deep with a skywell.

The hall chronicles the life of Lu Jiuyuan (also known as "Master Xiangshan") from birth to death through a series of comic-style illustrations depicting 20 famous stories about him, including "Raised by Mother and Sister-in-law," "Questioning Heaven at Age Four," "The World's Best Go Player," "The Debate at Ehu," "Eight Policies of Jingmen," and "Death Comes Naturally." Lu Jiuyuan (March 26, 1139 - January 18, 1193), courtesy name Zijing, was a native of Jinxi, Fuzhou, and belonged to the Jiangyou ethnic Han lineage. His study was named "Cun," earning him the title "Master Cunzhai." He was also known as "Master Xiangshan" because he taught at the Xiangshan Academy (now located in southwest Guixi, Jiangxi), and scholars often referred to him as "Lu Xiangshan." He was a prominent Neo-Confucian philosopher of the Southern Song Dynasty, the founder of the School of Mind, and the pioneer of the Lu-Wang school of thought.

Looking around the village, large and small ponds can be seen along with the gates. One of them is the moon pond opposite the Zhongmen Building. The other seven are in the shape of the Big Dipper. The "Seven Stars with the Moon Pond" is named after it. The villagers remembered that "the stars are leaning against the moon, and the light will be bright when they are not bright." As long as they are deacons around the ancestors, no matter whether they are farming, doing business, studying, or being an official, they will have a bright future. When you walk into the brick house next to the pond, you can clearly see the four characters of "Zi Lan Qixiu" on the forehead. Above the left hall, the word "Liaotai" is in the eye, right above the hall. The word "gradually rising" echoes with it.
