If you're interested in fireworks, mostly it's history, it would be well worth your time when you're in the area. There's also a nearby temple with a large incense burning area and there was a festival of some sort the evening we were there.

Tan Sitong was a Chinese thinker and reformist in the late Qing Dynasty.
He was a pioneer liberalist in China, one of the chief advocates of "the Hundred Days' Reform" (11 June to 21 September 1898) leaded by the young Guangxu Emperor. It was a national cultural, political and educational reform movement, and was unfortunately failed. Tan was executed at the age of 33. He occupies a place of tremendous importance in modern Chinese history.
From age 15 to 17, Tan Sitong lived here. The house is a medium sized building, has only an area of about 10000 square meters. It has become a small museum now. There are some Exhibitions showing the life of Tan and the history of "the Hundred Days' Reform". Not many things to see.
I took 2 hours' bus (from Chang-Sha) to visit this spot, because Tan is one of my respectable great thinker. For a common tourist, It is not necessary to make a special trip here. But if you stay or trip though Liou-Yang, it is worthwhile to visit the museum.
A lovely young lady staff (or volunteer guide?) made a great, professional narration about Tan’s life and the building. Thank her so much.

Built in 1913, in memory of Mr. Tan Sitong, a Chinese great thinker and reformist in the late Qing Dynasty. He was executed at the age of 33 after a national cultural and political reform movement failed.
It is different from another 2 historical spots related to Tan: “Tan Sitong Tomb” at Xiaoshui Village, and “Tan Sitong's Former Residence” at Zheng-Bei street”. (This Ancestral Hall is located about 300 meters from Tan’s Former Residence.)
the same as the former residence, there is a sculpture of Tan Sitong, and some Exhibitions showing the life of Tan.
I visited the hall for the memories of the great thinker.
