Dongsheng Wei
东生围
A large Qing-dynasty square fortified house in Zhengang Township, Anyuan County, with nearly 400 rooms. It is one of the largest square Hakka-style fortified houses in southern Jiangxi.
Dongsheng Wei is in Zhengang Township, Anyuan County. Built during the Daoguang reign of the Qing dynasty, it was constructed over several years by the Chen family. It covers about 10,000 square meters, with watchtowers at the four corners of its outer walls and three rows of horizontal houses inside. With nearly 400 rooms, it ranks among the largest square fortified houses in southern Jiangxi. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit, and the nearby Weiting Wei is often mentioned alongside it. Residents still live in the fortified house. Visits are generally free or cost a small fee. It is about 20 km from Sanbai Mountain Scenic Area and about 1.5 hours' drive from Longnan, so it works well as a stop on a Sanbai Mountain trip.
