Hu Family Courtyard

From 1730 to the early 20th century, the yamen served as the main office and residence of the daotai (high-ranking mandarins) who were tasked with the administration of northern Sichuan.

It was built in the northern part of the town during the Tang Dynasty, then relocated to the East Gate during the Ming Dynasty, and moved to its present location in 1851 during the Qing Dynasty.

Both this tower and the Huaguang Tower are about three storeys high and are fine locations from which to overlook the town and river.
