Facing north to south, the tomb covers an area of over 2000 square meters and is composed of a tomb path gate, tomb path, and burial area. The tomb path, paved with blocks of stone, is 130 meters long, ending with 23 steps of hanging belt stairs. On the west side, there are three wooden-structured tomb halls, inside of which stands a statue of Wang Shipeng. The tomb is constructed against the mountain, divided into five terraces, and surrounded by block stone walls in a chair-like style. In 1983, descendants conducted a major restoration. The tomb is open all year round and accessible 24 hours a day.
