The Shetou Yuemei Liu Family came from Nanjing County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. The eleventh generation, honored as Tianji Gong, migrated Taiwan in mid-Kangxi Period of the Qing Dynasty. The family first settled in the area of "Damao" (today's Minxiong) Chiayi County, and the twelfth generation, honored as Yi-Chou Gong, migrated again and settled in today's Shetou Yuemei area. Through several generations, Shetou Yuemei Lin Family began to expand its estate in the Japanese Colonial Period and several years later, it reached today's scale. The Yuemei Liu Family Mansion is a structure of 13 wings (seven at the north side and six south side). This asymmetric design is rather interesting. The Yuemei Liu Family Mansion was named the Hall of Fullness. The front hall is the family shrine, enshrining the family ancestors. A large fishpond in a crescent shape sits in front of the family shrine, which is called the Crescent Pond. The structure of the Liu Family Mansion leans against the hills and looks out to the flowing waters. The pond is believed to be a good Fenshui that helped the family to accumulate wealth. The front court before the main hall was used as a rice husk sunning yard during harvest seasons.
