Corridors connect some courtyards. On both sides of the main building, there are two two-storied buildings in the shape of a crescent. One was used as a school and temporary workers lived the other. The overall shape of the building resembles a black gauze cap worn by feudal officials in ancient times, which implies that the owner hoped his offspring could rise to become officials. The entrance fee is 30 yuan.

 Fuyu Building - the Five Phoenix Building

Built in 1880 and modeled on the palace architectural style, the building covers an area of 7,000 sq m. High in the front and low at the back, it's dotted with elegant upturned eaves which look like five flying phoenixes. It's now a key cultural heritage building under state protection.

 Chengqi Building - the king of round buildings

Dating back 300 years, this is the biggest round earth building in Yongding County and follows a classical design with a large central hall. Like a city with many ring roads, the four-storied Chengqi Building has four rings of 400 rooms. The population of the building once reached over 600. Nearly 100 families lived and worked together in the building and formed a history of the development of the Hakkas settlers in Yongding. This building is much admired by Chinese and foreign tourists. The entrance fee is 30 yuan.
