Here was discovered in the summer of 2006.Few people knew this.
Walked along the road from the south gate of Guangxi Normal Univerity,you can find the site in brushwood.There's a small village nearby,some trenches and artificial channels built to transport water,or as for irrigation, drainage.There're two stone lion statues placed on each side of the stairway. I guessed there used to be a pond or a river in front of the stairway,here used to be a dock or a small reservoir for irrigation.
Lengjiacun Village lies in the east to the dock site,about 600 meters far.The Ancestral Temple located at the entrance of the village.In a state of disuse and inactivity.No one was allowed to enter.A copper lock hung on the door.I looked though a crack on the door,the courtyard's full of weeds,the main hall looked dull.
