Courtyard and pond
The residence follows a courtyard layout with multiple side wings. Inside its gatehouse lies a broad, level forecourt, with a half-moon pond and green bamboo woodland in front. These open spaces form part of the villa’s setting beside the Tanya Shen Green Bikeway (潭雅神綠園道).
Carved and modelled ornament
Glazed pottery, stone carving, fine woodcarving and varied brick decoration appear throughout the residence. Together they express the decorative ambition of a wealthy Qing household. Guided tours provide a way to explore its history, and the villa also hosts exhibitions within the historic setting.
