The Di Chang Zhong Ancestral Hall is a cultural relic protection unit of Tianhe District.

The Di Chang Zhong Ancestral Hall was built in the eighth year of the Xianfeng reign during the Qing Dynasty (1858). It is located at No. 12, Zhongzhong Street, Zhucun, Zhujie Subdistrict. Its original construction date is unknown, but it was rebuilt in the eighth year of the Xianfeng reign (1858). The hall faces east and features a three-bay, two-courtyard layout, covering an area of 136 square meters. It has a gable-and-hip fireproof wall and gray plaster floral designs on its dragon boat-style ridge. The walls are made of blue bricks, and the plinth is constructed from both granite and red sandstone. The eaves feature simple floral patterns, and there are five murals dating back to the Xianfeng era beneath the eaves. The structure retains some architectural components from the Ming and early Qing periods, but its overall style is representative of Qing Dynasty architecture.
