Former Residence of Ning Zhicun: Ning Zhicun was a well-known financier and industrialist in southern Sichuan. In December 1938, he was elected as a supervisor of the Jiayang Coal Mine at its first shareholders' meeting, where he served as a major shareholder. The Jiayang Small Train, now a popular tourist attraction, was his brainchild. Locally referred to as the "Copper Threshold," the former residence of Ning Zhicun covers an area of 1,970 square meters and was originally built during the Qing Dynasty. It features six courtyards, the largest of which exceeds 100 square meters and the smallest around 10 square meters. Deep within the courtyard stands the Embroidery Building, preserved in its original Qing Dynasty style. Its gate tower resembles that of Zhiyuan but is taller. Unfortunately, the stone-carved cabbage on the wall has been so damaged that it is no longer visible.
