Hayes Town, a famous cultural village, is a living fossil of garrison culture. This is Min 'an Village.
Ancun, named "Anzhen Minjiang River", is located in Tingjiang Town, Mawei District, Fuzhou City, with the Minjiang River in the east, the Mid-levels in the west, the Tingjiang Fort in the north, and the land for Fujian ship administration in the south. With convenient land and water transportation, it has been an important military fortress, coastal defense throat and trade center at the mouth of Minjiang River since ancient times. At the beginning, civilian villages were under the jurisdiction of wuyue, and towns were built in Sui Dynasty, and procuratorates' offices were set up in Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the prison town guards were set up, the trade was prosperous, and the population increased sharply, making it the first of the four major towns in Fujian. In the Ming Dynasty, the establishment of Jian Zhen Yacheng further consolidated the military position of Min 'an and became an important battlefield against Japanese invaders. By the Qing Dynasty, the military organizations of Min 'an were expanding, and Company commanders mansion, Jeb, Doudufu, Shicheng, Martial Arts Hall and North-South Fortress were established one after another. Even the earliest naval flag camp in China is located here, and its jurisdiction covers not only Fujian coast, but also Taiwan Province Province and Penghu. As a result, Min 'an became a famous naval town. The history of Min 'an as the main port of the Maritime Silk Road can also be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, where the Tang, Song and Ming all set up customs agencies. When Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, his huge fleet called at Min 'an six times. In Qing Dynasty, Min 'an was not only one of Fujian's three major ferries to Taiwan, but also an important node of trade with Ryukyu. Huikou Customs in Min 'an provided a strong economic guarantee for Fujian shipping administration. After liberation, the organizational system of Min 'an Town was abolished and managed by the neighboring Tingjiang Town. Its trade and military importance is far less than before, and it has almost disappeared from the historical stage. However, a large number of historical relics have been fortunately preserved. It is these rich historical resources that make Min 'an Village stand out and become a rich tourist mine in the southeast.
The following are the main historical sites of Min 'an Village:
Jilong bridge
Jionglong Bridge, also known as Huilong Bridge, spans Xinggang from north to south. It was built in the Tang Dynasty and has been destroyed and restored many times in the past dynasties. This bridge was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. Jionglong Bridge is a common Liang Shi Bridge in Fujian. It has four piers and five holes, with a total length of 66 meters and a width of 4.8 meters.

There are three monuments crossing the street pavilion, among which the Shen Gong Bridge monument records the history of Keelung Bridge in detail. The Holy King Temple is dedicated to the Monkey King, the Great Sage of Qitian, and Guanyin Pavilion is built in the back hill.

Cross the wooden bridge on the stream and climb the 10-meter-high cliff along the zigzag stairs, and you can see this newly renovated righteous tomb. In the 13th year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1874), the Japanese army invaded Taiwan Province Province on the grounds of destroying the Ryukyu crew in Taiwan Province Province, which was the famous "Peony Club Incident".

They were buried with the victims of 18 19, 1833 and 1878 in Hutou Mountain in Fujian. Yi tomb covers an area of only over ten square meters. The rammed wooden pier is lined with 1 1 column 13 rows of tombstones. Only the birthplace and name of the deceased are engraved on the tablet, and there is no distinction between grades and ranks. This is the final destination of 135 warriors. There is a big stone tablet in the middle of the front of the tombstone, engraved with the word "righteous burial" and signed "Tongzhi Qiao October Boxer". Since the unification of Taiwan Province Province in the 22nd year of the Qing government Kangxi (1683), Fujian's naval garrison has been stationed in Taiwan Province Province for more than 200 years. During this period, due to various reasons, "three years of small chaos and five years of big chaos" occurred in Taiwan Province Province, and soldiers stationed in Taiwan made sacrifices from time to time. All of them are buried along the coast of Fujian, which can be described as falling leaves. In 20 13, the tombs of soldiers stationed in Fujian, including Fuding Tomb, Mawei Tomb and Dongshan Tomb, were listed as the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council.
