The great hall of Yung-lo's tomb is constructed after the same fashion as the familiar “Joss house."

The roof is handsomely carved and painted and is supported by plain wooden pillars. In front of the sepulchral structure there is a carved bench that supports an incense burner and urns to hold what foreigners term "Joss sticks."
