Shangxinwu in Zhangguying Village, Yueyang, Hunan

Located at the tail of Longxing Mountain in Zhangguying Village, Shangxinwu is one of the three major architectural complexes in the village. Built in 1808 (the 13th year of the Jiaqing reign in the Qing Dynasty) by Zhang Lixin, the 16th-generation descendant of Zhang Guying, it covers an area of 7,560 square meters with 172 rooms. Featuring five courtyards, seven wells, and eight transverse halls, it showcases the prototype of ancient manor architecture from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Currently, Shangxinwu serves as the Yueyang Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Center. It is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
