Beitai Kang Zhenjun Temple is located next to a residential building at No. 2 Gonghe South Street, Beitai Community, South District, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. It was built in the 21st year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty (1895) and underwent renovations in 1984 and 1990. The structure faces southwest and is built along a northeast-southwest axis. It consists of two sections: the right section has three bays and two courtyards, with a skywell between the two courtyards, while the left section has a single bay and two courtyards. The total width is approximately 17.38 meters, the total depth about 20.36 meters, covering an area of around 357 square meters. The right section features grey brick walls, a flush gable roof, a decorative ridge, plain tiles, green-glazed tile ends, and drip tiles. The front porch of the first courtyard has two granite pillars adorned with stone beams, mythical animal corbels, and brackets. The gable ends are decorated with floral and fruit-shaped plaster reliefs, while the eaves boards feature wood carvings of flowers, birds, and figures. Both the outer and inner wall friezes above the eaves are painted with murals. The rear courtyard has a mixed post-and-lintel and pier-and-lintel beam frame supported by four wooden king posts. The left section uses a direct purlin roof structure, with plaster decorations on the wall frieze above the eaves. This building reflects the architectural style of altars and temples from the Qing Dynasty in Zhongshan, featuring exquisite decorations and certain cultural value.
