The stilted houses of Bailuo people

It is the traditional architectural style of the Bailuo people living in Malipo County, using 52 (56 or 66) columns in eight rows to support the whole building. Such a house normally has two storeys, plus a stable (ground): the first floor is for people to live at, and the second is used for storage; both sides of the house are designed with flying eves; and the roof is paved with tiles.
