In Bishan village, at the heart of the historic region of Huizhou in Central China, architectural heritage, once an afterthought, is now beginning to attract attention as a potential source of economic development. The Shisanmen Hall, pictured here in a drawing by Bishan local Wang Shouchang whose forbears built it 280 years ago, is one of the three Wang family ancestral halls that remain in the village. Another thirty-three were lost to the ravages of war and neglect.
