It has withstood the test of time across several centuries, presenting a unique and distinct architectural character.

The interior layout is intricate yet orderly, with a土木 structure that features symmetrical wings, arches, and exquisite craftsmanship in wood carving and painting, making it a residential building designed and constructed in one go with an intricate overall structure. The owners of Honglin Cuo take pride in the three plaques hanging inside: the one at the main entrance bearing the large characters ‘Honglin Cuo’, the one above the second hall inscribed with ‘Respect for the Nation and Strength’, documenting the ideals and sentiments of the Chinese people during a humiliating era.
