Chengqi Tower in Gaobei Village is the most famous earth building, known as the "King of Earth Buildings". It has a diameter of 73 meters, an outer circumference of 1,915 meters, and a corridor circumference of 229.34 meters. The entire building consists of three circles and one center, with the ancestral hall at the center. It took the longest time to build.

Wuyun Tower is commonly known as the "Unfallen Tower". It is more than 100 meters away from Chengqi Tower and is characterized by the lack of stone wall foundation. The front wall of the building has tilted inward by 1.5 meters, but it has remained stable for nearly 100 years.

Shize Building is a rectangular earthen building, adjacent to Chengqi Building. The two buildings are only more than ten meters apart. The square and round eaves on the roof form a skylight-like landscape that is very ornamental.

The Qiaofu Building is known as the "Doctor Building" because it is famous for producing 11 doctors; most of the original residents moved overseas. The architectural style of the ancestral hall is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. In front of the building is a courtyard surrounded by an outer wall and has an outer gate.
