The courtyard usually consists of the main house, the inverted seat, the left and right compartments and the ear rooms, forming a closed quadrangle space. Here you can feel the living atmosphere of the old Beijing people, the kind of leisurely, self-contained lifestyle.

The four heavenly kings have their feet on the ghosts and monsters, indicating their duties and merits in suppressing evils and protecting the world, and finally transfer back to the hotel or airport.
