Kangwanwan Manor is a large-scale feudal landlord manor in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction and one of the three major manors in the country (the other two: Liu Wencai Manor and Mou Erhei Manor).

The owner of the manor, the Kang family, has been prominent and wealthy for more than ten generations and more than four hundred years.

In addition, the architectural features and carving features of the manor are worth savoring carefully. .
The architectural style of Kangwanwan Manor is not only different from the Shanxi merchants' compound, but also different from the Huizhou merchants' villas and theater buildings. Buildings were built near the street, cave dwellings were built near the mountains, wharfs were set up by the river, and walls were built in some precipitous areas. A Kangjia manor not only retains the form of the Loess Plateau dwellings and northern courtyards, but also absorbs the characteristics of government buildings, gardens and military fortresses.
