The "Shanhou Village" consists of the Upper Fort， Middle Fort and Lower Fort. The famous "Kinmen Folk Culture Village" refers to the Middle Fort built in 1900 during the Qing Dynasty. This was the first village in Kinmen to be turned into a tourist destination. The sixteen symmetrical two-courtyard historic houses， an ancestral shrine and a school academy are known collectively as the "Eighteen Houses of Middle Fort at Shanhou". All of these were built by Wang Kuo-Chen and Wang Ching-Hsiang after they became rich by trading with Japan. The overall layout was developed by famous Jiangxi architects and the great attention to detail can be seen in each house's location， purpose， interior spaces， courtyards and lofts. Even the carved beams and themed clay sculptures were not left to chance. The entire project took 25 years to complete.All eighteen historic houses were built on the hillside facing the sea in three orderly rows. Together， they represented a highly detailed and intact example of Southern Fujian architecture. Visiting tourists particularly enjoy standing in the alleys to take photos of the saddleback roofs， gabled walls， swallowtails and blue sky. This work of art by six master craftsmen brought from Tangshan is a must-see destination for all visitors to Kinmen.The Spirit Lion Statue in Shanhou: The Spirit Lion Statue stands in front of the Ganyin Temple at the Lower Fort in Shanhou. The blue ribbons， blue tail and blue eyebrows are its most distinctive features. The way it holds the big bronze coin in front of its chest together with its big round eyes and， toothy grin makes it look quite cute.
