According to the pattern of Ming and Qing tombs, Lin Yuan adopted the construction method of combining Chinese and western styles, taking China's classical traditional shape as the body, taking western architectural style as the use, coexisting ancient and modern times and having different styles. After passing through the traditional archway gate in China, there is a tree-lined holy road. On both sides of Lu Shen Road are opposing Huabiao, Ma Shi, Shi Hu, Shishi, stone carving generals and stone carving civil servants. This is, of course, in accordance with the specifications of the "emperor" for Yuan Shikai's mausoleum to do ceremonial work. What makes people feel special is that Ma Shi, Shi Hu, Shishi and civilian military commanders all have short legs. Its pavilion is traditional. Yuan Shikai's tombstone in the pavilion, like emperors and generals in feudal society, was carried by a huge weight.
After the pavilion, it is the gate. There is a main hall on the front and an accompanying hall on both sides, all of which are Qing Dynasty buildings. Further on, it is the tomb base. There are three gates in the stylobate, and the iron gate in the middle is completely western-style, much like the "Marshal House" in the early years of the Republic of China. But the tomb emblem hanging on the iron gate is carved with black dragons and tigers. The three-story platform tomb in the iron gate is where Yuan Shikai was buried. It is round, all made of reinforced concrete, and the stone lions carved around it also imitate the western-style "realism" instead of the traditional "freehand brushwork" in China. This strange mausoleum of Yuan Shikai reflects his ever-changing position on the historical stage.
