The most distinctive ancient "stilted water houses" from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican period in Shaoguan were once known as "Dongguan." They reflect the typical architectural style of Lingnan market towns during the Qing Dynasty, with features similar to those of Fenghuang Ancient Town in western Hunan — constructed along the river, resembling stilted houses. "Dongguan" — the ancient residential houses on East Dike North, bear witness to a long history and embody a profound cultural heritage.

Nowadays, the municipal government has decided to incorporate this historic commercial street into future urban planning, renovating it through market-based investment attraction to restore its original appearance, turning it into a new tourist attraction in the ancient city of Shaoguan.
