Li Kaizao’s former residence is located in Xikou, Taishan Village, Dongping Town, Quanzhou. It is situated to the left of the Taiping Li Family Ancestral Hall, known as ‘Dongyao’ Mansion, and to the right of the Taiping Li Family Ancestral Hall, known as ‘Tianfeng Hall’, which was the former residence of his cousin Li Kaifang, a Jinshi (imperial scholar), referred to as ‘Xiyao’ Mansion.
‘Dongyao’ is currently a county-level key cultural relics protection unit, built in the 43rd year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, facing Qianxun and Haisi. It features a suspended mountain style with a Guiwang Chuandou timber structure, comprising three sections (three drops) with a facade of seven rooms and a depth of ten rooms. The left wing is a protective annex, and the right side is adjacent to the ancestral hall, totaling 32 rooms, covering an area of 3.24 mu, with an actual construction area of 1720 square meters. In front of the mansion, the stone-paved courtyard is meticulously crafted with fine stone slabs.
