The façade has a recessed entrance which creates an overhanging eave serving as a shelter during bad weather while at the same time protecting the relief frieze decorations from the elements. <br /> <br /> It has a symmetrical layout. Two courtyards separate three main halls (Entrance Hall, Tea Hall and Senior Hall) arranged within an axis, which demonstrates the hierarchical structure of traditional Chinese families.<br /> <br /> The ornamentation of the mansion has incorporated Western design, including the neo-classical balustrades and perforated wooden ceilings similar to those on Macau's churches.<br /> <br /> Lou Kau Mansion is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<br /> [[category:tourism]]</div>
