Featuring unique white walls, black tiles, flying eaves and upturned corners, the ancient Hui-style architectures of Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911) are widely found here.
Together with surrounding mountains and rivers, the Hui-style architecture embodying the ancient Chinese philosophy of coexisting with nature withstands the test of time and makes it to modern times.
