Among all the earth buildings, Zhencheng Building is the most magnificent. With the combination of various round buildings into one, it is regarded as a miraculous wonder by thousands of experts, scholars and tourists. The main building is composed of an inside round building, an outside round building and a central hall. The outside ring has four stories, which are divided into eight components according to China’s traditional Eight Diagrams, with each diagram forming a separate courtyard. Various courtyards are connected by corridors, but each diagram is separated by a fire wall.

Like a city with many ring roads, the four-storied Chengqi Building has four rings of 400 houses. It enjoys a history of more than 300 years. The population of the building once reached over 600 at the most. Nearly one hundred families lived and worked together in the building and formed a history of the development of the Hakkas settlers in Yongding. It was acclaimed as the peak of perfection by tourists both at home and abroad. In 1981, it was enlisted in China’s Dictionary of Historical sites. In 1986, a stamp entitled “Fujian's Residential Buildings”, with its design based on this building, was chosen as one of the best stamps in the world.
