Huang Hui-Huang Western-style House Introduction
The management office of Kinmen National Park under the Ministry of the Interior is currently closing the venues of ShuiTou DeYue Building and Huang HuiHuang Western-style Building, as well as the ShanHou Celebration Hall for renovation work. They are expected to reopen at the end of September 2025. Among the Western-style buildings constructed by the Huang family in ShuiTou, the Huang HuiHuang Building is the most magnificent, as DeYue Building is part of this structure. The main facade features statues of a small lion and an angel, while other decorations include mosaics of peacocks, scrolls, flowers and birds, elephants, butterflies, and a double dragon chasing a pearl on the main beams, all crafted by Kinmen artisans. On the exterior decoration of the building, there is an inscription stating "Year 20 of the Republic of China," indicating the year of construction. Additionally, at the highest point, there is a clock showing "12:40," which serves to remind future generations that while others take a break at noon, they should strive to work harder and achieve more, encouraging descendants to be more diligent and industrious.
