White Jade Palace

White Jade Palace (Sixth Batch National Heritage Site)

Era: Jin to Qing Dynasties

Address: Jiadi Village, Lucheng Town, Lingchuan County

Renovated during the Daguang to Chongqing years of the Jin Dynasty, with subsequent repairs in later dynasties. It is divided into three courtyards, covering an area of 2,750 square meters. Major structures include the mountain gate, reverse-facing theater stage, passageway hall, main hall, east and west side halls, and east and west wing rooms.

The main hall is a Jin Dynasty structure, featuring a width of three bays, a depth of six rafters, a single-eave hip-and-gable roof, and a glazed tile edge on the roof. The bracket sets are arranged in a complex pattern, and the wooden structure largely preserves the majestic style of the Song and Jin periods. The surrounding walls are relatively low, giving an impression of openness and elegance, hence it is praised as the "Open-air Museum of Ancient Architecture." Extended Reading:
