The term "cliff house" (崖厦), as the name suggests, refers to a house formed from stone. Based on artifacts related to primitive society found here in 1982—such as stone axes and stone knives—archaeologists concluded that this was once a settlement of a Neolithic tribal community. Later, archaeologists also discovered fragments of incense burners used for Buddhist worship on the open ground of the cliff house, leading them to determine that the site was also a sacred place of Buddhism.
