The founding date is unknown, with renovations carried out during both the Ming and Qing dynasties. The temple complex faces south and consists of a single courtyard. Major structures include the mountain gate (also serving as a theater stage), worship hall, main hall, side rooms, and auxiliary halls. Among these, the main hall dates back to the Jin Dynasty, the mountain gate to the Ming Dynasty, and the rest were built during the Qing Dynasty. The main hall is three bays wide and six rafters deep, featuring a single-eave hip-and-gable roof covered with tubular and flat tiles, with glazed tile edging. Bracket sets on the eaves feature simplified designs. The structure of the main hall utilizes large wooden components in the traditional post-and-lintel fashion.
