In front of the mansion, there are two banyan trees. The one on the left is known as the "Recruitment Tree of Zheng Chenggong." In 1662, Zheng Chenggong posted a recruitment notice under this tree to gather troops for the recovery of Taiwan. Today, this ancient banyan tree, over 400 years old, remains lush and thriving, standing 20 meters tall with a trunk circumference of 13.5 meters and a canopy diameter of over 30 meters. On the right side of the courtyard wall, 23 ancient steles preserved from various dynasties in Nan'ao are embedded. Among them, one is China's earliest port regulations, and another is a tax stele, both of significant historical value.
