Former Site of Resistance Against Qing Forces in Longdong

The former site of resistance against Qing forces in Longdong is a cultural relic protection unit of Tianhe District.

The former site of resistance against Qing forces in Longdong (including the gate tower, Pu’an Fan Ancestral Hall, and blue brick wall) is located at No. 13, Lane 9, West Street, Longdong Village, Longdong Subdistrict. Originally built during the Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt in 1947 and renovated in 2004. The site covers an area of 828 square meters. The plaque above the gate tower is inscribed with “Qionglin,” featuring a classic ornamental ridge, double eaves, glazed tile ends, and ruyi-shaped drip tiles, with murals on the nameplate. According to the 1871 edition of the “Panyu County Annals,” in the seventh year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1650), when Qing troops were denied grain and laid siege to Longyan Cave Village, nearly all villagers were killed. This site served as the command center and ammunition depot for the village’s resistance against the Qing forces. In 1947, clan members pooled funds to rebuild the ancestral hall, gate tower, and surrounding walls.

On October 19, 2012, it was designated as part of the second batch of cultural relic protection units in Tianhe District.
