The San Xiaozhi Ancestral Hall is situated on Longquan Mountain in Longquan Community, Yuyao City. It faces south and is a late Qing Dynasty–style ancestral hall building. The ancient hall has a single-eave, flush-gable roof and three bays. The central bay has a raised-beam frame with four pillars and eight rafters. The side bays use a mixed through-tenon and raised-beam structure with five pillars and eight rafters. The beam supports between the central bay beams are short and stout. Below the base of the rear central column is a dished stone pad. The front eaves of the central bay include a corridor, while the side bays’ sill walls extend to the eaves.
