Built in the second year of the Yuanzhen era of the Yuan Dynasty (1296), expanded in the fifth year of the Yanyou era (1318), and renovated during the Ming Dynasty. Only the Yuan-era main hall and stage remain today. The main hall is three bays wide, four rafters deep, with a single-eave hanging gable roof and bracket sets featuring upturned arms. The main hall's wooden structure is exquisitely crafted. The stage is also of the Yuan Dynasty, with a similar style to the main hall. The bracket sets are arranged in a simple yet robust manner. It is an important architectural relic from the Yuan Dynasty. Extended Reading:
