There are many typical ancient houses in traditional style here, bright and majestic with delicate ornament, which used to be the residence of rich men. There is respectively a Qingyun Alley at both sides of the ancient houses that implies a meteoric rise of a career or social position. The Qingyun Alley is also called Leng (cold) Alley, Huo (fire) Alley and Shui (water) Alley, which performs the multiple functions of airing, fireproofing, draining, lighting, air-curing, transporting and planting and so on.
