Acropolis architecture not only has the characteristics of northern dwellings, but also combines the styles of Jiangxi and Hunan, and is built in turn according to the topography of Acropolis. Its architectural style is mainly reflected in the construction of houses, halls and temples.

The houses in the Acropolis are mostly wooden structures with small blue tiles, which are mostly built in the form of "gold covered with silver" (the pillars of wooden houses are wrapped in bricks). The most prominent is the quadrangle, the second courtyard, the third courtyard or the fourth courtyard. The style of a house is generally to walk through the pavement or hall of a street and walk through a courtyard (also called a courtyard dam). The yard is generally about fifteen or sixteen square meters small and twenty or thirty square meters large. On the left and right sides of the dam, some have built rooms, some have built flower beds (some people have small fish ponds), and the first room is opposite the yard. The doors and windows of the house are carved with dragon and phoenix seals and carved with flowers, birds and animals. The wooden square table, square table and plush chair are well arranged. The quadrangles with two entrances, three entrances and four entrances are built on the mountain according to the topography of Weicheng Town, which gives people the feeling of climbing step by step.

Throughout the residential buildings in Acropolis, there are both magnificent houses in the south of the Yangtze River and dignified quadrangles in the north, especially binary or ternary quadrangles, which are more suitable for large families to live in.
