It is built on a high platform, with brick-carved fish patterns on the top of the gables, and a double-slope hard gable roof in the middle hall. The main house in the courtyard is three rooms wide with a front porch. It is a building composed of a cave dwelling at the bottom and a wooden structure building at the top. The roof is a double-slope hard gable tile roof with complete sparrow and hanging decorations. There are wing rooms in the front and rear courtyards on the left and right.
