Hengkeng Village: Hengkeng Village is a former revolutionary base village, a provincial-level ecological village, located at the source of the Min River, and was recognized as an advanced village at the municipal level of Shaowu in the 11th selection. To this day, the village retains over 60 well-preserved ancient residential buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, each featuring distinctive architectural styles. These structures are all built with blue bricks and green tiles, representing pure Ming and Qing architectural design. Both the main gates and the hall doors are framed with stone bars, with three sides of the door frames adorned with relief carvings of pine trees, cranes, and auspicious clouds. The century-old murals inside the halls remain vividly colorful, and the patterns carved on every door and window are unique and exquisitely crafted.
