the best residence. In Kuanhsi, there are the most people who enjoy
their longevity more than any other villages of this county. Therefore,
it is known as a village of longevity.

The existing old houses include family Cheng, Luo, Fan and Luo from
Nanshan, with numerous delicate stone carving and wooden sculptures. In

recreational parks, such as Liufu Village, Golden Bird, Jinshien and Bat
Cave, which accelerate the development of tourist resources in this
village. After Taiwan Highway No. 3 is extended and the traffic on 2nd
