Ancient Huizhou · A Millennium of Craftsmanship

Zhaobi (Screen Wall)

The screen wall stands quietly on the south bank of Longchuan Creek, facing Hu's Ancestral Hall across the water. Its simple white facade and dark-tiled top echo the hall's architectural style. Unadorned by floral carvings, it relies on clean lines to convey the village's timeless charm. Stop and gaze — the ancestral hall rises in grandeur, and the creek flows clear below.
