There are "Jinshi mansion" in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and the former residence of Luo Shaoyan, director of the propaganda section of the Political Department of the seventh Red Army and director of the Political Department of the fourth column in the period of the Republic of China.

There is a gate in the east of the ancient village. The stone steps at the gate are in the shape of fish gills. It is said that anyone suffering from red eye disease can be cured by boiling water with a pinch of herbs. Along the east gate, there is an ancient lane extending to the north gate. The ancient lane is all paved with gneiss, with a total length of more than 1000 meters. Each stone is 1.5m long and 0.3m thick. The bottom of Mashi lane is not only the drainage culvert of the village, but also the road for villagers to get in and out. It can be used for pedestrians on the upper side and sewage on the lower side, killing two birds with one stone. The stone lane is constructed because of the terrain. It is circuitous and has a sense of winding path leading to seclusion.

The buildings on both sides of the ancient lane are high and low, with blue brick, red stone, red tile, pink wall and carved column murals. Most of the murals depict historical allusions, opera scenes, landscape and so on, forming an exquisite and elegant architectural style similar to the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River.

About 150 meters north along Mashi Lane from the east gate, there is an ancient well, about 1 meter in diameter, built of green bricks. The well water is clear, sweet and cool. Through sampling and testing by relevant departments, it is confirmed that the well water is rich in a variety of minerals needed by the human body, and its characteristics are quite different from ordinary well water, which is really rare. It is said that if you drink the water from this well often, your skin will be delicate and the water color will be beautiful. It can also dispel fatigue and diseases, and has the effect of prolonging life. There are three ancient wells in Jinglian ancient village, two of which are close to the pond, but the water level is at least 1 meter higher than that of the pond all the year round, and the amount of water can not be dry and overflowing; in drought years, the pond water is dry, but the well water is not exhausted. The three wells were all built in the Ming Dynasty and have a history of more than 400 years.

In the north of the ancient village, there is a three deep "Luo's ancestral hall". There is a pond at the gate of the ancestral hall, with a water area of about 15 mu. It used to be a place for washing clothes and taking a shower in the village. Now there are many fish in the pond. The pond is shaped like a bow and arrow. It is said that the "Luo ancestral hall" is ready to go in order to resist the invasion of outsiders.

The ancient village was once protected by a ring of walls. To this day, a section of green brick wall with a length of more than 20 meters has been preserved in the north of the village, with an exit wall and a big banyan tree beside it. Ancient buildings, ancient stone roads, ancient wells and ancient banyan trees constitute a beautiful landscape in the ancient village, which is a good place for modern people to relax and think about the past and the present.
