清水趙家古厝-蓮花池

Located in the Qingshui District, the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall, known as "Tianshui Hall," has a history of over a hundred years, dating back to around 1890. This ancestral hall features a two-section six-protecting-dragon layout, surrounded by dense bamboo, complemented by a pond of pink lotus flowers in front. The antiquated scenery is worth a visit, with Aofeng Mountain at the back and waterway surrounding it, making it a remarkably well-preserved Sanheyuan (three-section courtyard). During the summer months from May to August, lotus flowers bloom in the Half-Moon Pond, creating a beautiful scene where lotus fields accompany lush mountains, green fields, and the ancient residence, forming a picturesque rural landscape that attracts many tourists and photography enthusiasts. Note: The ancestral hall is a private residence, and the interior is not open for public visits, but the front square and lotus garden can be accessed free of charge for photography.
