The building is of wood structure, with three rooms, four columns and five floors, yellow glazed tiles, Ruyi Dougong, thirteen steps in the Ming Dynasty, nine steps in the slightly Ming Dynasty and five steps in the middle of the small roof. There are eight stone monsters in each corner. The four in the middle are Tianlu, with a long neck and sharp claws; the four on both sides are evil spirits, with angry eyes and twisted necks, with strange images (this archway is very special.
