Wuyuan is famous for its well preserved Hui style architecture, villages and historic sites. The Hui style of house is found in the Hui Zhou area, an historical name referring to an area in the southern Anhui Province. This particular style is well known for its white walls, black roof, the horse head wall (a wall that was designed to prevent fire), a narrow central courtyard called “Tian Jing” [the “sky well”] and beautiful decorative carvings. Some also say the walls are named horse head because the white wall and tiled roof resemble a white horse and its mane flying in the air.
