Some of these murals include the damned, the wheel of life, judges of the underworld and many others. The architectural complex is made of two parts, the folk residence and the cultural sites.
The folk residence is called "Peng Shi Zhi" in local language meaning the "White Sand Streets". Houses and small stores line up on both sides of the streets. At the end of Baisha Old Street, there is a huge cluster of temples built in the Yongle Period of the Ming Dynasty, consisting of three yards: the Sutra Collection Pavilion that is the dooryard, the Liuli Temple that is the cloister and the Dabaoji Palace that is the backyard.
