Part of the "Stone Zangzi" is still hidden in the tea garden, and there should be a building of the Xian Hall and the Ginseng Hall behind it. At present, a long corridor structure has been found on the side of the "Shizangzi" of the Mausoleum No. 7. It is inferred that there are corridors on both sides of it. Its courtyard structure is in the tea garden on the south side, and the building extends to the south. The structure of the No. 7 imperial tomb is huge in scale, and there should be many buildings in it. The current tea garden should preserve a large number of architectural ruins.

The National Grand Site is a core cultural resource that empirically proves China's million-year human history, 10,000-year cultural history, and more than five thousand-year civilization history. It is a historical witness to outline the period of civilization and continue the Chinese cultural context. Doing a good job in protecting and utilizing large sites is to make the heritage displayed on the vast land "live", highlight the historical and cultural value of Chinese civilization, reflect the spiritual pursuit of the Chinese nation, and show the world the comprehensive and authentic ancient and modern China. According to the plan of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, by 2025, the overall pattern of protection and utilization of large sites in my country will basically take shape, and a number of replicable and popularizable demonstration cases will be formed. There are 145 ruins in the country listed as national major ruins during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
