Longyou Folk House Garden is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, located on Jiming Mountain in the southern part of Longyou. It is one of only two demonstration sites in China approved by the National Cultural Heritage Administration for the off-site relocation and protection of ancient architecture, and is also a key national cultural heritage site. The garden was established in 1991 and has since relocated more than 65 ancient buildings from the Ming, Qing, and Republican periods, including ancestral halls, family temples, residences, academies, overpass towers, stone pavilions, screen walls, and stages. Newly built structures within the garden, such as the reception hall, cultural relics storage, memorial archways, shops, waterside pavilions, waterscapes, and covered bridges, are all designed in traditional styles. These architectural works represent the wisdom of the ancient people of Longyou and serve as a testament to the glorious history of the Longyou business community. The scenic area regularly hosts intangible cultural displays and folk performances, including dragon and lion dances, She ethnic group engagement ceremonies, rice paper-making demonstrations, and performances of Wu Opera. With its beautiful environment and rich cultural heritage, the garden has been awarded titles such as Research Base for Chinese Merchant Culture, Top Ten Grassroots Cultural Demonstration Bases in Quzhou, and Former Residence of the Longyou Business Community. It is a new cultural destination that integrates “cultural heritage preservation, tourism, academic research, and patriotic education.”

Sanmenyuan is an ancient small mountain village nestled in Shifo Township. Surrounded by mountains on the east, west, and north sides, a mountain stream flows from north to south through the village, offering picturesque scenery with its clear waters and lush greenery. The layout and architecture of the village have been largely preserved in their original form from the Qing Dynasty, with the Ye family residential complex in the eastern part of the village being particularly exquisite. It stands as a representative example of late Qing-era architecture in Zhejiang Province. Built in 1846 (the 26th year of the Daoguang reign) after Ye Hetian, a villager, was awarded an imperial scholarly title, the complex faces west and is built against the mountain. Originally consisting of five main buildings, three remain today, with plaques above the gates inscribed with “Orchids Grace the Hall,” “Azaleas Flourish Forever,” and “Walls Alive with Spring.” The site includes courtyards, gardens, and ponds, covering an area of 4,500 square meters.
