Located in Lufeng She Nationality Township, Shanghang County, Fujian Province, the "Waiwu King"-Mazibawei Longwu, was built by the ancestors of the Lan family in Fengji Village during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It has a history of more than 200 years.
The enclosed house takes the north-south meridian as its central axis, faces south from the north, and is symmetrical. It covers an area of about 10,000 square meters and consists of two arc-shaped enclosed houses.
The main hall is a courtyard house with traditional architectural style in western Fujian, with three entrances and two main halls plus side rooms on both sides, and a Hakka dwelling with nine halls and eighteen wells.
The half-moon-shaped pond in front of the house and the double-enclosed dragon house at the back of the main hall are combined to form a Taichi-shaped whole. The latter is a two-story arc-shaped house. There are nearly 100 living units in the whole house, suitable for large families with hundreds of people. .
Nowadays, most of the residents here have moved out to build small western-style buildings. Currently, only a small number of people live in it, and they adhere to the temple where the ancestors, nature and humans are united and gathered together.
