The magnificent Zhencheng Tower has a unique shape, complemented by symmetrical half-moon-shaped pavilions on both sides. From a distance, it looks just like a black gauze hat. The main body is laid out in the shape of the magical Eight Trigrams Tower of our country. Firewalls are set between each trigram. In case of fire, only one trigram can be burned and the fire will not spread. The second floor of the building is a two-story brick and wood structure with stone-carved column bases, wood-carved storefront, glazed tile eaves and Windows. The corridor on the second floor is a cast-iron railing with patterns of plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums and bamboo, which is closely connected to the central hall of the building - an important activity center. It serves as a council hall, a banquet room and can also be used as a stage. In 2014, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala "Ming Li · Chopsticks" was filmed here. The middle part of the viewing stage on the upper floor is 6 inches higher than the sides. The middle part is for the guests and the sides are for the hosts, which means that the guests are one level higher than the hosts. This is also a symbol of Hakka hospitality.
