Wushan Guansi Temple is located on East Street in Chengguan Town, Wushan County. Covering an area of approximately 384 square meters, it faces north and currently consists of the main Buddha hall and side halls. Originally built during the Yuan Dynasty and renovated during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, the structure is made of wood and earth. The main Buddha hall features a single-eave hanging hip roof, spanning three bays (14 meters) in width and four bays (9 meters) in depth, with a height of 8 meters. The two side halls have gable-and-hip roofs, each spanning three bays (8 meters) in width and two bays (7 meters) in depth. This hall is one of the earlier surviving ancient buildings in the province, well-preserved, and holds significant value for the study of architectural features and construction techniques from the Ming Dynasty.
