The old drama stage of Zhouzhuang, in Jiangsu province, is a quadrangle-courtyard structure which covers an area of 4,600 square meters, with its principal part consisting of an opera stage, a section for the audience, and an exhibition hall. The vault-shape roof of the stage is made up of 420 wood scarving of phoenixes, and functions as high-quality acoustic equipment.
