The mansion was constructed on Liangling
Mt. and is a typical Bai
traditional architecture: compound with houses on four sides and
courtyards on four corners. The complex has been well protected;
one could easily see its delicate workmanship and vivid colorful
paintings in it. Two century-old Chinese toon trees grow verdantly
in front of the screen wall; they are regarded as “Yin and Yang Trees”
or Fengshui Tree by the locals. In 1998, Tu’e Chieftain’s Mansion
was listed as one of key relics of Yunnan Province.
