He Clan Ancestral Hall

Known as the “Finest Ancestral Hall North of the Yangtze,” the He Clan Ancestral Hall was first built during the Ming Dynasty. The hall is grand in scale and well-preserved. The main hall is majestic and solemn in an ancient style. Its distinctive architectural features—such as lotus-leaf-shaped pedestals supporting the beams, hat-wing-like decorations on beam supports, post-and-lintel construction, and vase-shaped pillar bases—are rarely seen in northern Jiangsu.

During the 1940 Battle of Huangqiao, this site served as the Rear Service Committee. It was designated as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit in 1982. The museum houses precious cultural artifacts such as Ming Dynasty folding screens, Forbidden City golden bricks, and Jingdezhen porcelain paintings.
