The Li Family Residences and Ancestral Halls of Hutou are a cultural heritage site protected at the provincial level in Fujian Province.

The Li Family Residences and Ancestral Halls of Hutou are located in Hutwo Village and Hutsan Village, Hutou Town, Anxi County, dating back to the Qing Dynasty.

Description: Comprising the Shijia Mansion, Liufang Xiaozong, Erya Mansion, Sanya Mansion, Siya Mansion (including Zongxing Hall), the Li Family Ancestral Hall, and Jinxin Hall. Jinxin Hall was built in the late Qing Dynasty, while the others were constructed in the early Qing period. Both the residences and ancestral halls face south and feature a courtyard-style layout. Most individual structures employ a mixed post-and-lintel and mortise-and-tenon wooden framework, with flush gable roofs and swallowtail ridges. The buildings are exquisitely decorated, with rich motifs and exceptional craftsmanship.

Protective boundary: A 20-meter extension outward from the outer walls of each individual structure.

In 2018, the Li Family Residences and Ancestral Halls of Hutou were designated as part of the ninth batch of provincial-level cultural heritage sites by the People’s Government of Fujian Province.
