Wang'an Zhongsha Historical House Introduction
The Zhongsha Historic House, located in Zhongsha Village, Wang-an Township, Penghu, was once a garden house featuring over a hundred Min Nan-style buildings, showcasing the prosperity of the past. Walking along the streets, you can see traditional Minnan architecture, daughter windows, cat holes, and Lougu stone fan shells. The original name of Zhongsha Historic House was "Huazhai" (花宅), and at the center of Huazhai, there is a small hill, which the residents refer to as the "flower heart," meaning the center of Huazhai. "Huazhai" was first mentioned in the "Taiwan Province Gazetteer" in 1695. It got its name because the terrain resembles a flower, and when viewed from the open sea, the hills surround it like petals encircling the flower's heart. The ancient house cluster of Zhongsha Village (a traditional Minnan settlement) has been listed among the world's 100 sites at risk of disappearance and is officially registered as a "Historic House Preservation Area" by the Ministry of Culture. Due to the dense cluster of historic houses, Zhongsha Village exudes a rich cultural and humanistic atmosphere, often evoking nostalgic feelings in visitors. In recent years, it has become a favorite location for films and advertisements (such as Bohua Coffee), making it a must-visit place for travelers in Penghu. 【Recommended stay duration】 1.5 hours.
