Sanmao Ancestral Home: The ancestral home of Sanmao was built by her grandfather, Mr. Chen Zongxu, in the last century and is located in Chen Family, Xiaosha Town.

Fuweng Hall: Nestled in the green hills of Wangjia Village, Fuweng Hall was first established in the 24th year of the Hongwu Emperor’s reign during the Ming Dynasty, with a history of over six hundred years. According to county records, in the early years of Hongwu, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the relocation of residents from forty-six islands of Changguo (present-day Zhoushan) following a memorial from minister Tang He. The unwilling residents scattered and hid, leading to a period of displacement and fear. The commoner Wang Guozuo, unable to bear the suffering of the people, endured hardships and personally petitioned the emperor, arguing against the relocation. As a result, more than eight thousand people of Changguo were able to live and work in peace. The people were grateful to Wang Guozuo and called him ‘Mr. Fuweng,’ and his residence became known as ‘Fuweng Hall.’

Shuailong Bridge: Built in the 24th year of the Daoguang Emperor’s reign during the Qing Dynasty, Shuailong Bridge is constructed with slab stones and square stones in an arch shape, resembling an inverted dragon, hence its name.

To protect this historical landmark, the town government built a sister bridge beside it in 1994, creating an artistic ‘Dual Dragon Reflection’ effect.
