The arm-length court poles are placed upon rare wooden drum-shaped frustas, an embodiment of architectures during the Ming dynasty. The hall is placed with rosewood furniture of the Ming dynasty patterns. It is decorated with lanterns and streamers to meet guests. The walls are decorated with calligraphies and paintings.

To the east of the hall is a shadowy and deep bypath. In the old days, the main entrance was not opened in usual days. It was open only in time of weddings, funerals, and visits by distinguished guests. In other time, family members would pass in and out through the bypath. Now, the bypath has turned into a tourism channel of distinctive features. The backyard is well spaced with luxuriant flowering trees and shrubs, making it handsome as paint. A glittering and translucent rivulet miraculously comes out at the end of the bypath.

The backyard is a tranquil small garden, surrounded by dwelling houses of red walls and green bricks. At the foot of the high fire-proof walls are wavering green bamboos and gorgeous China roses. Mondo grasses lie about the winding path.

Tourists from metropolises apparently do not seek adventures to walk into the backyard of Zhang Ting through the narrow bypath. They may go across the corridor shed over the rivulet to admire small boats in the river, or act a historical figure wearing garments of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
