The stilted tree house, as a perfect weekend getaway or guesthouse, is located on a rock in Laojun Mountain, HeNan Province. The height between the site and the downward walkway is about 6m.

The steps leading to the house are next to the steep rock cliff, a natural handrail. The building, stacked by two boxes, stands amid three high trees, more than 20 meters, and cliff rocks. They are rotated along their centres at an angle to share a diagonal line. Thus, the bottom box gives two small platforms on the front and back sides, while the upper one provides two cantilevered corners, which respectively provides a covered entrance, and a third platform enclosing a tree on the site.
