Xidi

Carved in 1578 from local Yixian bluestone, this four-pillar, five-tier memorial archway with a hip-and-gable roof marks the entrance to Xidi.

Xidi's largest clan hall has upturned eaves and a huge character for filial piety attributed to the calligraphy of Zhu Xi.

Lufutang is a model Qing Huizhou merchant home, known for a couplet saying good deeds sustain a family and study is the finest pursuit.

Former home of Qing official Hu Wenzhao, this mansion features an overhanging embroidery tower above the street that recalls old Huizhou folk customs.

In 1578, the Wanli court approved a merit archway for Hu Wenguang in his home village of Xidi, and local clans subsequently funded its construction.

In the Ming–Qing period, Xidi's Hu clan combined commerce, education, and ancestral-hall ethics, with Jing'ai Hall preserved as a key clan heritage site.

In 2000, Xidi and Hongcun were inscribed for their exceptionally preserved traditional settlements, street plans, water systems, and Huizhou residences.
