Wangan Zhongsha Ancient House Introduction
Located in Zhongsha Village, Wang-an Township of Penghu, the Zhongsha Ancient House was once a garden-style residence with over a hundred Minnan-style buildings, reflecting the prosperity and flourishing of the past. Walking along the streets, one can see traditional Minnan architecture, daughters' windows, cat holes, and stone clam shells. The Zhongsha Ancient House was originally named "Hua Residence," and in the center of this residence is a small hill, which residents refer to as "Hua Heart," meaning the center of the Hua Residence. "Hua Residence" first appeared in the "Taiwan Prefecture Annals" in 1695. It is named for its topography resembling a flower; when viewed from the open sea, the surrounding hills resemble petals encircling the heart of the flower, hence the name given by the ancestors. The ancient house cluster in Zhongsha Village (traditional Minnan settlement) has been listed as one of the world's one hundred sites at risk of disappearance and has been officially registered as a "Heritage House Preservation Area" by the National Cultural Heritage Commission. Due to the dense cluster of ancient houses, Zhongsha Village exudes a rich cultural atmosphere, often evoking feelings of nostalgia among visitors. In recent years, it has also become a popular filming location for movies and advertisements (such as Barista Coffee), making it a worthy destination for travelers to Penghu.
