The redbrick building was in traditional Hokkien style, and the light reflecting off the lake set the whole scene off. The lake was surrounded on all sides by smaller ponds full of aquatic plants; grasses of different heights, lotuses swaying gently-a wonderfully relaxing scene, like something from another world.
磚牆紅瓦的閩南式建築，與前庭波光瀲灩的池塘相互輝映，水塘四周連接著幾片水生植物池，高低不同的綠草、荷花搖曳生姿，悠閒田園景緻，彷若世外桃源，東邊的登瀛書院格局完整，氣派莊嚴。
