Yan Gong Ancestral Hall

In Niuhua Ancient Town, the only well-preserved monument to be found so far is the Yangong Ancestral Hall. Yan Gong Ancestral Hall is located on Putuo Mountain behind Niuhua Park, on the campus of the current Niuhua Middle School. The Yan Gong Ancestral Hall, as the name suggests, was built to commemorate Mr. Yan Anlan's outstanding contribution to the salt administration of the Niuhua Salt Works during his tenure as the salt transport envoy in Sichuan.

In 1940, Lechang Salt Merchants established a private Zhenhua Junior High School, which was located in Yan Gong Ancestral Hall. After liberation, it was taken over by the people's government and changed to Wutongqiao No. 1 Middle School (referred to as Wuyi Middle School for short). This is the only well-preserved salt history ancient building in Wutongqiao District, with a long history, elegant environment and symmetrical beauty, so that the cultural context here is inherited and passed down from generation to generation.

Shaanxi Guild Hall

The former site of the Shaanxi Guild Hall is located in Niuhua Commercial Street (three tree location), from the Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China, because of the "Sichuan Salt Jichu", Shaanxi people are one of the main immigrants who migrated to Niuhua Town, and most of them live on a street, so it is named Niuhua Town "Shaanxi Street". At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Shaanxi salt merchants raised funds to build a Shaanxi guild hall on Shaanxi Street for the Shaanxi people to worship Guan Gong and discuss and meet guests.

After liberation, Shaanxi Street was renamed Shengli Street (now a commercial street), and the Shaanxi Guild Hall was also used as the school site of Shengli Street Primary School, which was later merged into Niuhua Town No. 1 Junior High School.

Lin family yard

The Lin family courtyard is the most complete courtyard in Niuhuaxi, the tiles on the roof beams are kept intact, the bows under the beams and the doors and windows are hollowed out and embossed, exquisitely carved and well preserved. The scale of the Lin family yard is grand, leaving us with a valuable cultural heritage for us to study the history of the development of the salt industry in modern Niuhua and the historical changes of Niuhua Ancient Town.
