Description

Zili Village located in Tangkou Town Kaiping, roughly 12 kilometers away from downtown of Kaiping city, comprised of three small villages: Anheli, Heanli and Yonganli.

The Mingshi Lou was built in the 14th Year of the Republic (1925) by Fang Runwen, a villager living in Chicago in the U.S.A. He came back to the village and built this residential tower. It is built of reinforced concrete and is six storeys (22.61 metres) high. It stands by itself in a courtyard. It occupies 600 metres, and its floor-area is 628.64 square metres (of this area the main tower occupies 561.25 square metres and the subordinate building 67.39 square metres). As you enter the courtyard, the subordinate building is on the right. It was used to store farm equipment and also housed the kitchen used by the servants. The main building is on the left, built on top of a platform. It faces southeast.
