Li Fengchi Residence

The Li Fengchi Residence is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

The Li Fengchi Residence is located at No. 60, Old Wei, Tangwei Village, Shipai Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province. It was built during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty (1573–1620) and underwent renovations during the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty (1875–1908). Facing south and situated to the north, the residence features a three-bay, two-courtyard, two-winged, triple-courtyard layout, connected to a study room, forming an "L" shape. It has a total width of 20.33 meters, a total depth of 18.48 meters, and covers an area of approximately 282 square meters. The secondary bays are equipped with 0, and the inner walls of the second courtyard are surrounded by anti-theft wooden panels. These panels, along with the densely arranged roof purlins and the anti-theft round logs at the main gate, form a complete protective system. The second floor includes an upper-level platform, and the indoor and outdoor spaces are divided by skirted windows, ensuring both privacy and a conducive environment for reading and studying. The residence and the study each have separate external entrances, while an internal passageway connects the two for convenience. This residence holds significant value for the study of residential architecture in the Lingnan region during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was designated as a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit in 2006.
