English: The Old House of the Siiao Family at Ziadong was built in the Siian-Fong time of the Ciing Dynasty. The family’s 19th generation ancestor came to Taiwan and got rich as a businessman. He hired Chinese craftsmen to build a mansion similar to that in his home town, Mei County of Guang-Dong Province. All building materials were imported from China. It is a house with a double courtyard, the so-called Hakka enclosed house. Both the structure and the detailed ornaments have been well planed. The house doesn’t only have the typical beauty of a Hakka Building; some parts are also in the Ho-Lo style. It is one of the existing five block houses, which are rare in Taiwan. It is now listed as a national third class historical site.
