Offering Hall

The Offering Hall is a cultural tourism attraction.

• The Offering Hall is still in use today, hosting grand sacrificial ceremonies during major festivals.

The Offering Hall is situated in front of the Flying Bridge over the Fish Pond within the Jin Temple. Originally built as a place to worship the Goddess Mother and offer sacrifices, it was constructed in the eighth year of the Ding reign during the Jin Dynasty (1168) and renovated in the 22nd year of the Wanli reign during the Ming Dynasty (1594). It features a three-bay width and two-bay depth, with simple bracket sets and deep overhanging eaves. Though it resembles a pavilion in appearance, its overall structure is light yet sturdy.
