Tiekeng Li Sanniang Ancestral Hall is a cultural relic protection unit of Fujian Province.

Tiekeng Li Sanniang Ancestral Hall is located in Yangyuan Village, Yangyuan Township, Zhenghe County, dating back to the Qing Dynasty.

Description: Facing southwest and situated northeast, it consists of the main hall, stage, and dressing tower, built over a mountain stream with a mountain path passing between the stage and the main hall. The building covers an area of over 300 square meters. The main hall was rebuilt in the 29th year of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty (1844), with a width of three bays and a depth of 10 meters, featuring a post-and-lintel beam structure and a hip-and-gable roof. The stage was rebuilt in the 30th year of the Guangxu reign (1904), facing the main hall, with a width of 4 meters and a depth of 6 meters, flanked by corridors and an octagonal caisson ceiling with painted figures and stories on the panels, topped with a double-eave hip-and-gable roof. The dressing tower on the left was rebuilt during the Republican era. The main hall enshrines the “Three Ladies”—Chen Jinggu, Lin Jiugu, and Li Sanniang—and is the ancestral hall of Li Sanniang.
