The whole project of the "Fengjing Peasants' Paintings Village'' is composed of five families and covers an area of 40 mu (about 2.7 hectares). The project is scheduled to formally open on May 1st this year.

The main focal point of the ''Fengjing Peasants' Paintings Village'' consists of 8 buildings. As tourists enter the gatehouse they will come across the reception center, and by following the path they will then enter a quadrangle, which mimics famous architecture of the region, with black bricks,long windows and wooden doors. Covering an area of several hundred square meters, the quadrangle will be used as the exhibition hall for the peasant's paintings, showcasing the prize-winning works of the Jinshan peasants. North of the exhibition hall there are five newly built homes, including guest rooms,a cooking stove, and a small yard in the middle. The architecture will make tourists feel like that they have returned to the 1930's and are enjoying life south of the Yangtze River.
