About Qina Old Buildings

In the Ming dynasty a post station, Qingshui, was set up on the official road through what is now Qina town, and garrison officers and wealthy families built houses, ancestral halls, temples and schools along it. The listed group comprises nine buildings, including Ruiguang Temple, the Dongyue Temple and several family halls and courtyards, with dated Ming timber structures preserved by the dry valley climate. Apart from the two temples, which are collectively owned, the buildings are privately owned.
