This middle school was built on a hillside to the south of Huilongchang Old Street. It has three buildings including the gate, the auditorium and the dorm-office building. The gate looks like a penholder, which corresponds with the Penholder Mountain opposite the school. Under his ruling period, students could get free education and parents who didn’t send their children to the school would be punished.
Huilongchang Old Street
This is the main site of Qingmuchuan Ancient Town and was established during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) as a commercial center. During the Republic of China period, Wei took advantage of the town’s favorable location by planning and developing the street, making it in a unified style. These ancient buildings combined both Chinese and western elements and come with many strange designs. There are still more than 50 well-preserved buildings standing today along the old street, indicating the once prosperity enjoyed by this old town.
