Lanting Town House is a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Lanting Town Mansion is located in the natural village of Dingtan Village, Huxi Town, Zhangpu County. Because the mansion is newly built in Dingtan Village in the west of the lake and surrounded by buildings like city walls, it is known as "Dingtan New City" and "Courtyard City". It is a mansion-style castle built by Lan Tingzhen, Fujian Navy in Qing Dynasty, at the end of Kangxi and completed in the fifth year of Yongzheng (1727). It is also the former residence of Sun Lan, the grandson of Lan Tingzhen, a navy master in the south of the Yangtze River, and a national key cultural relics protection unit.

Lan Tingzhen (1664- 1729), whose real name is Putin, Zhangpu Laker, official to Nanyue commander, Fujian Navy prefect. He once took photos of towns in Taiwan Province Province and made great contributions to the governance of Taiwan Province Province. After his death, he gave the prince Shaobao, Yi Xiang and a hereditary captain without pomp. During the reign of Kangxi, he joined the army together with his brother Li Lan (whose real name was Yi Fu, Wenshan, Chiling, Zhangpu) who was a pioneer in the bloody battle during the reign of Kangxi, and then went to the Prince of Qingkang. In the thirty-fourth year of Kangxi (1695), he first served as the commander-in-chief of Dinghaiying, the garrison of Panshi, the Sino-British guerrilla in Wenzhou Town, the deputy commander of Penghu and the commander-in-chief of South Australia. In the 60th year of Kangxi (172 1), unified troops entered Taiwan and put down Zhu Yigui's uprising. After the recovery of Taiwan Province Province, he worked as a printer in Taiwan Province Province. During his military service in Taiwan, he dissuaded Fujian Governor Bowman and General Shi Shiyi from killing people indiscriminately, which brought many people from the mainland to Zhu Yigui back to the Qing Dynasty. Many immigrants from their hometown Zhangpu came out of Zhangpuliao to help Lanting Town stabilize society and develop agriculture, which played an important role in the early development of Taiwan Province Province. He also suggested that the Qing court should attach importance to the defense of Taiwan Province Province and prevent foreign aggression. He also listened to the advice of his brother Lan Dingyuan (whose real name is Yulin, a native of Chiling, Zhangpu, a famous minister in the early Qing Dynasty and a master planner in Taiwan Province), and adopted a series of "reasonable policies" such as strengthening the unity of the Han and Gaoshan ethnic groups, improving the defense in Taiwan Province Province, encouraging reclamation and developing production. These policies are "regarded as laws by those who ruled Taiwan Province in past dynasties" and have far-reaching influence. In the first year of Yongzheng (1723), Lan Tingzhen was promoted to the prefect of Fujian Navy, and his son Lan Richong joined Tongshan Camp. Sun Lanyuanmei successively served as the town company commander in Taiwan Province Province and the prefect in the south of the Yangtze River, and entered Taiwan to suppress the forest uprising during the Qianlong period. Lanting Town House is large in scale and rigorous in layout. The building complex sits west to east, and in front of the mansion is a wide square made of 360 stones, criss-crossing and magnificent. The footstool of the main building is a large area of granite, and the red brick, gray brick and white wall of the external wall complement each other, with a total width of 50 meters and a depth of 86 meters, covering an area of more than 4,300 square meters. On both sides of the gate stand a pair of celadon drums, which are 1.5 meters high. The drums are beautifully embossed with Kirin, lotus and aquatic plants. Carved a couplet on the doorpost of the gate, praising Lan Tingzhen's historical achievements in pacifying and governing Taiwan Province Province;

Deer ears are worshipping, and rivers are like wind music;

Set the east capital for seven days, and the garrison machine can be compared with Sun Wu.

The whole building is characterized by the combination of load-bearing brick walls and earth walls, as well as barrel frames. The foyer, main hall and back hall are all barrel frames with thick beams and columns and prisms with a diameter of 40 cm. The wooden beam frame is decorated with "rod lamp", "sun support" and "hanging cylinder"

Mansion buildings are vertically and symmetrically distributed, and along the central axis are hall, main hall, back hall, main building and back compartment in turn. The left and right hatchbacks are protected and connected by a "water gallery", forming a pattern of large quadrangles with small quadrangles. The first landing is 7 bays, and the roof surface rises to a ridge-hard mountain type. The second roof falls on the hard mountain. Nave is in the middle, with a screen at the back and an eaves gallery in front, which is shed-style, with nave facing the patio. The third place is the Houdian, which is a place to worship the God of Peace. The back hall is connected with the patio, and the open corridors on both sides are connected with the back corridor of the main hall, forming the largest indoor space in the whole house, reflecting its position as the center of the whole house. The fourth place is a two-story tulou, called "Rijielou". The tablet was inscribed by Lan Tingzhen and stamped with the seals of Rijielou, Putin, Zhu Baosong Mao and Lan Tingzhen Seal. The name of the building is taken from the Book of Changes, which means the son of Lan Tingzhen, Richong, Rining, and Lan Jia has a successor. The ground floor of the building is square all-stone, and the second floor is three-way earth wall with a thickness of 0.8m, a width of 23m and a depth of 10m. It is worth mentioning that earth buildings in government buildings are very rare in southern Fujian, which is also the uniqueness of Lanting Town Government. The wooden structure on the earth building was burnt down in the 1940s, and the outer wall of the main building is still intact. The fifth place is the back wing, one of which is an open hall with back doors at both ends. The rear wing and the left and right wing guard plates are connected in a circle to form a quadrilateral. Tulou is located in the quadrangle, showing a unique form of "courtyard city", which is a grand view.

Lanting Town House is the representative work of Minnan government, and it is also a historical witness to study the relationship between Fujian and Taiwan and the history of Lan family. The building is large in scale, symmetrical in layout, ingenious in conception and diverse in technical means. Earth buildings were built in the mansion, forming a courtyard city pattern, which reflected the highest level of architectural art in southern Fujian at that time. It is worth mentioning that more than 300 years ago, dozens of military generals with unparalleled martial arts appeared in Zhangpu Lanjia, including Lan Tingzhen, Lan Dingyuan, Lan Richong, and Lan Yuan, which made important contributions to the early development and governance of the motherland's reunification of Taiwan Province Province and Taiwan Province Province. Among them, Lan Tingzhen and He Lan are the most senior officials. Lan Tingzhen, a famous official and Taiwan Province planning master Lan Dingyuan are all outstanding representatives of the Lan family in China. This special family phenomenon is of great significance to the study of the history of She nationality in China, the relationship between She nationality and Han nationality and sociology.
