These thirteen households are relatively large families. Thirteen Villages are distributed along both sides of Banjia Creek. The villages are in various styles, including semi-enclosed Pin-shaped, fully enclosed quadrangle, and stilted buildings. The roof has flower ridges and corners, railing corridors around, and carved railings and flower windows.
