The Former Residence of Liu Mingchuan

The Former Residence of Liu Mingchuan is located in Liulaowei (Liu's manor with a stockade), 2 kilometers to the north of Mountain Daqian. Liu Mingchuan was the first governor-inspector of the Taiwan province in the Qing Dynasty.

Built in 1868, it occupies an area of 6 hectares. Around the manor there used to be a deep moat and a wall of stone, 5 pillboxes and forts on the surrounding wall. Two drawbridges towered above the outer moat. Two gate towers were built on the wall. The golden water river flows around the manor. Inside the manor, many old trees tower to the skies. Liu's former residence is the largest manor among those owned by the Huai Army generals in the neighborhood.
