Guangchong Fort
Guangchong Fort is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
Located in Xiaohua Village, Taihua Town, it was first built in the early years of the Republic of China. The overall style is that of a mansion-style building, primarily for residential purposes with defense as a secondary function. It is distributed along a central axis, featuring in sequence a front courtyard, stone stair bridge, gate tower, inner courtyard, main hall, side rooms, enclosing wall, and corner towers. The fort walls and corner towers are equipped with watch windows and shooting holes. It is an earth-built defensive structure combining a ancestral home and residence, designed as a unified whole. It is now a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
