The Chongxi Ancestral Hall (從熙公祠) is located at Xiejiaotou in the Jinsha Administrative Area of Caitang Town (彩塘鎮), Chao’an County. It was built by Tan Hock Nien (陳旭年), a community leader of the Johor state Chinese diaspora in Malaysia. Construction began in the ninth year of the Tongzhi reign (同治九年, 1870 AD) and was completed in the ninth year of the Guangxu reign (光緒九年, 1884 AD), taking a total of fourteen years.

The Tomb of Lu Tong is a Song‑dynasty burial site discovered in Chao’an District, Chaozhou City, located at what is now the government seat of Dengtang Town. The tomb is monumental in scale and of exceptionally high status. A stone stele, taller than a person, once stood before a mound shaped like a Mongol helmet, and in front of the mound stretched a ceremonial ground large enough for several hundred people to perform ancestral rites. On both sides of the tomb field stood stone sheep, stone horses, and stone guardian figures. Several hundred meters away, a memorial archway marked the beginning of the tomb path. Local residents referred to this burial site as 'Clouds Covering the Moon' (雲蓋月). Although the landscape has shifted over time and the stone sheep, horses, and guardians have disappeared, one can still trace the outlines of its former layout and imagine the vast scale of this ancient tomb in its original state.
