The general high foot house is not a multi-storey building, only divided into the upper and lower two floors. Initially, the high foot house with bamboo cover construction, gradually developed into a wood-based. People live on the upper floor of the house. The upper floor of the house is supported by several bamboo or wooden piles, the height of which varies from 1 meter to several meters. The lower level has no walls but only a few stakes, which are used for raising livestock and poultry, and placing agricultural tools and other items.
