About Jiutouma Residences
A walled Qing-dynasty residential complex in Qiyang village, Heshang town, built by Chen Lihuan and his son from the Jiaqing era until about 1872 and named after nine large boulders scattered through it. Inside a 120 m square of 6 m walls stand 22 timber houses in five rows, each row with gates aligned so that all could be opened for weddings and funerals, and carved beams, doors and stone column bases throughout.
