Yang Hua Former Residence

金寧鄉 · Historic Sites

Yang Hua was a distinguished military officer of the Qianlong and Jiaqing eras, who once took part in the campaign against Lin Shuangwen and in anti-piracy operations. His ancestral residence is a traditional Minnan-style building with a three-section courtyard layout and a left-side protected wing. The main hall is decorated with a Sanchuan ridge, while the front and rear halls feature a continuous swallow-tail ridge. The detailed ornamentation is especially refined, with notable wood carvings and brick carvings on the door panels. Although the painted colors on the beams, columns, and bracket sets have faded, the carving remains vigorous and expressive.
