Huangdou Pai Liu House is located in Hulong Village, Xingning, Guangdong

The Huangdou Pai Liu House covers an area of about 1560 square meters, with the main building being 55.9 meters wide and 26.1 meters deep, occupying a land area of 1458.9 square meters. The construction of the Huangdou Pai Liu House began in the late Qing Dynasty and was built by the overseas Chinese Liu Dingfu. The house faces east to west and consists of a two-hall, two-wing, two-story structure (with an additional pillow beam and a side house on the right), forming a combined facade beam, with a three-story watchtower built on the additional pillow beam. In front of the house, there is a rice drying field and a pond. The foundation walls of the compound are made of rammed earth, while the upper parts are constructed with adobe, wood, and tiles, featuring a hard mountain-style roof. The structure of the house is unique, belonging to the combined facade beam style but also blending Chinese and Western elements. The building is two stories high, without eaves or walls. The house has the characteristics of ancient Hakka residences and also incorporates Western styles. Currently, the compound is severely damaged and in urgent need of repair. On August 10, 2009, the Huangdou Pai Liu House was announced by the Xingning Municipal People's Government as a 'Xingning City Featured Ancient Residence' for protection.
