The Yao Ho people traditionally built a separate granary next to the house. In the past, if the family had many fields, it usually had two or three granaries. the architecture of the  granary is that of a stilt house, with a small door large enough for a person to pass through. the floor, made or plaited bamboo, rests on four columns, and there is a bamboo roof.
