Architecture
Shusheng bridge
Shusheng bridge is located in the Rongli Committee of Ronggui. It was built in the 18th century. It is made of the root of a banyan beside the river. It was said the quondam bridge was broken frequently. In order to rectify this issue, the villagers drew the root of that banyan across the river and stuck it in the opposite bank. Over time, the root grew bigger and bigger. Once it was large enough, the villagers added planks atop the root and the bridge was built. This bridge remains in use.树生桥-顺德`容桂 Retrieved December 23, 2015
Guizhou Wenta (Wen Tower)
The Guizhou Wenta () was built in 1794 CE. The tower is located south of Guizhou Lion Mountain and turned towards the east. It was as tall as 42 meters with 7 floors. The tower is shaped as a hexagon. In the twenty-first century, the tower stood alone in the wilderness. In 2007 the government repaired the Guizhou Wenta again and put up many communal facilities around the tower, including a library, swimming pool and basketball court. Guizhou Wenta had become an attractive destination.文塔-顺德`容桂 Retrieved December 23, 2015
