In the overall layout, the new museum skillfully uses the water surface to integrate with the adjacent Humble Administrator's Garden and Loyalty Palace as an extension of its architectural style. The new museum complex is located on the north and south sides and is divided into three parts: the central part is the entrance, the central hall and the main courtyard; It is the main exhibition area of Xicheng Museum; East is the sub-exhibition area and administrative office area. The layout of the east, middle and west roads is symmetrical with the central axis, and the pattern of Zhongwangfu on the east side is very harmonious. The architectural environment of the new museum and the original Humble Administrator's Garden is a whole, which not only meets the requirements of the historical architectural environment, but also has its own independence. It combines them with the central axis, garden and garden space, regardless of spatial layout and urban mechanism.

On the south side of the pedestrian street opposite the main entrance of the new building, there is a Little Square by the river. On both sides of Little Square, according to the principle of "old as old", a number of ancient buildings were restored along the street. Ancient buildings have become supporting areas for public services such as calligraphy, painting, handicrafts, teahouses and snacks.
