The next smaller rooms housed soldiers and servants. The entire mansion is built of terracotta bricks, bonded with lime and beeswax. Regulations on the tribute of beeswax and opium at that time were also very strict for each family on a monthly basis. The entire roof is covered with ceramic tiles, and the floor is paved with precious wood harvested from the forest. French-style tables and chairs combined with Chinese spiritual architecture. Behind the palace is the Hoang family's underground escape bunker. Hoang A Tuong Palace was ranked as a national historical relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on June 11, 1999.
