Wanshou Palace (Fourth Batch of Provincial-Level Protected Sites)
Era: Yuan and Ming
Address: Shangdongfeng Village, Yuancun Township, Gaoping City
Also known as the Holy Maiden Temple, it was built in the 21st year of the Zhiyuan era of the Yuan Dynasty (1284), with renovations carried out during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Hall of the Three Teachings is a remnant structure from the Yuan Dynasty, while the rest are relics from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The temple sits north-facing south, with a two-courtyard layout. Existing buildings include a memorial archway, the Hall of the Three Teachings, the Jade Pavilion (stone pavilion), the Holy Maiden Hall, the West Side Hall, and wing rooms.
The Hall of the Three Teachings is three bays wide and six rafters deep, with a square floor plan and a single-eave, nine-ridge roof. The brackets under the eaves feature a complex arrangement. The hall’s interior preserves some original Yuan Dynasty colored paintings on the beams and caisson ceiling.
