A circular ink and color on silk painting rendered with fine lines depicts a complex of multi-storied wooden buildings with tiered roofs. Figures in white robes walk along paths or occupy open-walled rooms. Muted colors suggest blue panels and thin vertical railings. Sparse trees sprout between the structures, while pale mountains fade in the hazy background. The elevated perspective captures a detailed and serene architectural landscape.
