Kinmen County Commissioner Yang Cheng-wu (楊鎮浯) and the descendants of the family residence’s original owners attended the ceremony to mark the start of the restoration. The Wang Chin-cheng’s Western House (王金城洋樓) combines Western and Hoklo architectural elements in an elaborate and graceful way, the county government said in a news release. Wang Chin-cheng’s Western House, a 92-year-old county-level cultural heritage site in Kinmen County’s Jinsha Township, is pictured on Wednesday. After that, a neighbor of the Indonesia-based members of the Wang family wired NT$30,000 to repair the house’s roof and outside walls, it said. Military slogans and the national flag were prominently displayed while the house was used by the army, it added.
