Historic site of 1900 Huizhou Uprising

Located in Maluan Village in Maluan Community, the historic site of the 1900 Huizhou Uprising covers an area of 1,144 square meters, consisting of the Luo Family’s Estate and Qianghua School.

The Luo Family’s ancestral hall, part of the Luo Family’s Estate, is where the headquarters office of the uprising was located and is also the best preserved building at the site. It is a typical Hakka-style square compound flanked by two three-floor watchtowers that were used for defensive purposes.
