The roof trusses are of the lifting-beam type, and the roof is inlaid with glazed tiles. There is a gourd crown in the main ridge, with kissing animals facing each other, and the vertical ridges are parallel. The palace gate consists of six wooden carved lattice doors with vivid reliefs of animals, flowers and plants.

The Kowloon Palace was originally a place for worshiping dragons and praying for rain before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was completely destroyed in the early days of the Cultural Revolution. It was rebuilt in 1984 and basically maintains its original appearance.
