The Li Clan Ancestral Hall

The Li Clan Ancestral Hall
  The Li Clan Ancestral Hall is situated in Guantian Village, Rentai Town, on the shores of Longhu Lake along the Hangyong Highway, 38 kilometers from Shanghang County, with convenient access by both water and land. Constructed in the 16th year of the Daoguang reign during the Qing Dynasty (1836), it was funded by over 20,000 taels of silver raised by descendants of the Li clan (Li Menglan, the 23rd-generation descendant of Li Huode) to commemorate their founding ancestor in Fujian, Li Huode. The construction took four years to complete and has been hailed as the “Foremost Ancestral Hall of the Hakka People.” The entire structure features a unique architectural design, rational layout, exquisite ornamentation, majestic presence, and a seamless blend of palace-style architecture with traditional Hakka residential elements, making it highly distinctive. It has been listed as a key cultural relic protection unit of Fujian Province and attracts numerous scholars, experts, and tourists who come specifically to visit.
