Dongtai Mountain Temple

　　Dongtai Mountain Temple (Fourth Batch Provincial-Level Protected Site)

　　Era: Ming Dynasty

　　Address: Yuanzhuang Village, Suidian Town, Changzhi County

　　The year of its initial construction is unknown. It was renovated during the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty, and underwent multiple repairs in subsequent dynasties. The temple faces west and consists of three courtyards, covering a total area of approximately 4,000 square meters. Along the central axis are seven structures built in sequence: the mountain gate, double-layer tower, theater stage, offering pavilion, main hall, and rear hall. On both sides are auxiliary buildings including the bell and drum towers, wing rooms, north and south 0 (dressing towers), north and south ornamental gates, side halls, corridors, and side chambers—all of which are remnants from the Ming Dynasty.

　　The main hall is three bays wide and six rafters deep, with a single-eave gable-and-hip roof. The eave columns and the lintels above the columns are made of large-sized materials. The roof ridge bears an inscription reading “Renovated in the 19th Year of the Jiaqing Era.”
