The lane was constructed from slate and is lined with sculptures, pottery, and other arts telling ancient tales of weaving maids, brave hunters, and aging headmen.

The sculpture of Yanban (Slate) Lane

The entrance to these stone slab houses is very low, requiring most people to bend over to enter. Within the houses there are no cement pillars, as the houses are completely supported by the structure and position of the stone slabs. The size of the house is decided by the number of people in the family, with larger houses for larger families and vice versa.

Additionally, there is a custom that when someone in the family passes on, they are buried in the ground under the stone slab house and covered with dirt until the earth is flat again. Of all the stone slab architectures in Taiwan, only the ones in Wutai have been untouched and unchanged, maintaining traditional methods of usage. Thus they are important artifacts of the past.
