The Ancestral Hall of the Wu Clan is located in Yimen Village, Xidian Town, and was designated as a county-level cultural relics protection unit in 2003. The hall was first constructed in the 42nd year of the Qianlong reign (1777) and completed in the 17th year of the Daoguang reign (1837). The ceremonial gate, academy, and pond with bridge were added during the late Qing Dynasty. The layout follows a central axis consisting of the ceremonial gate, front courtyard (featuring a pond with bridge), front hall, theater stage, rear courtyard, and main hall. On either side of the front courtyard are study rooms, while the rear courtyard is flanked by side chambers. Its architectural scale and design are unique within the county. The wood carvings are exquisitely crafted and well-preserved.
