Wadong Zhang's Historic Residence Introduction
Wadong Village, known as "Wadong Port Society" during the Qing Dynasty, was referred to as "Wadong Township (Society)" and "Wadong" during the Japanese colonial period, and was named Wadong Village after the restoration of Taiwan. The ancestors began working as officials in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, with dozens of large sailing ships trading with Guangdong and Fujian. At that time, the rooftops of wealthy households featured curved glazed tiles, which are called "Wadong" in the Hokkien dialect, hence the name. In the village, one can see cattle, bull carts, and traditional rock houses, which have become important historical resources of Wadong Village. Zhang Baimillion, a merchant from Baisha Township in Penghu, has a wealth accumulation story that is quite legendary. His descendant gained military merit, thus in the second year of Yongzheng, Emperor Yongzheng bestowed honors upon them. This honorific golden box is now preserved in the Zhang Family's former residence in Wadong Village, and is the only honorific plaque still seen in Penghu. The Zhang family has had three generations honored by the Qing Emperor as "General of Heart and Distance," and many precious artifacts remain, making it a unique ancient mansion in Penghu. 【Recommended stay time】0.5 hours
