Xinhua Town Office 1934 Heritage Restaurant

Currently a restaurant, this former township office is also one of Xinhua's most iconic historic buildings. As its name, '1934 Heritage Restaurant at Xinhua Township Office,' suggests, the building was constructed in 1934. The original appearance of the interior ceilings has been preserved. From the exterior, it's quite difficult to imagine the extensive wooden structures inside. Upon entering the township office, there's a must-see highlight: you'll discover that some parts of the floor are made of transparent glass, beneath which lie many thick hemp ropes. Do you remember? Back then, the people of Xinhua collectively used ropes to move the entire historic building, saving it from being demolished for a parking lot. These ropes now serve as a testament to the passionate collective effort of the Xinhua residents. With dedication, many beautiful historical buildings can be well-preserved and become important local landmarks. This former township office, now a restaurant, is wonderfully preserved both externally and internally, exuding a strong retro charm. When you visit Xinhua, don't forget to stop by for an afternoon tea.
