Longyou Folk Houses Garden is located on the beautiful Jiming Mountain. It faces Longyou County across Lingshan River and is a treasured place with mountains and waters. The folk houses on the mountain are all Huizhou architecture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After a series of evaluations and screenings, the local government has gathered the buildings worthy of preservation scattered among the folk in Longyou townships and transplanted and rebuilt them here according to their original appearances, forming a specific tourist area for folk houses. Tourists can enjoy the excellent folk house architecture of Longyou here. The architecture here is themed on Longyou business group. They are either business mansions or official residences, which have a different flavor from the ancient villages in southern Anhui and Wuyuan. Among the relocated and reconstructed folk houses are 34 ancient buildings including Gong’s Folk House, Yu’s Folk House, Zishu Hall, Juxing Hall, Gaogang Qifeng Hall, Wu’s Hall, Lao’s Folk House, Lingshan Huating, Yixiu Pavilion, Shao’s Small Hall and Wang’s Folk House. Some cultural relics are also preserved. These buildings are the crystallization of the wisdom and labor of the ancient working people in Longyou and also witnesses to the history of Longyou business group. You can take a walk on the ancient commercial street or go into the folk houses to appreciate them carefully.
