The Gao Xinggong Residence

Located in Zhusan Village, Fuling Town, it faces south with a north orientation and was built during the Qing Dynasty. It is a single-entry, three-bay, two-story building with a flush gable roof, featuring a front courtyard, east and west wing rooms, and a rammed earth floor. The diagonal braces are intricately carved with openwork depictions of figures and stories, and the spandrels and window lattice boards are also carved, though the figures were damaged during the Cultural Revolution. The doorway and screen wall are painted with dyed illustrations of figures and stories. The second floor features intact partition doors, and there is a kitchen at the back. It was once the former headquarters of the Zhusan Reorganization Command of the New Fourth Army’s Wan–Zhe Detachment.
