Built in 1374 in the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the Guangyue Building, commonly known as the remnant-wood building, was constructed with the remaining materials used for city walls.

The Guangyue Building was built on a brick base nine meters high, bringing its total height to 33 meters. It covers an area of 1,238 square meters. Imitating a wooden structural construction, the four-storied building has five rooms and is 24 meters high. Its gable and hip roof with a cross-shaped ridge, eaves that protrude like wings and winding corridors that connect each section reflect a transitional architectural style from the Song (960-1127)-Yuan (1271-1368) to the Ming and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties. In the building are over 20 stone tablets with inscriptions made during renovations in the Qing Dynasty. The inscriptions feature the handwriting of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong, making them precious cultural relics. 

The Guangyue Building is the key symbol of the ancient town of Liaocheng.
