Tiekeng Hall

　　Tiekeng Hall is a provincial-level cultural heritage site. It is the third Linshui Palace, also known as the ancestral hall of Madam Li (Third Mother). Located on Tiekeng Mountain in Yangyuan Village, Yangyuan Township, it was first built in the late Tang Dynasty or early Five Dynasties period, and underwent multiple renovations in the first year of the Kangxi reign (1662), the 59th year of the Qianlong reign (1794), and the 24th year of the Daoguang reign (1844). The existing structure was rebuilt in the 6th year of the Republic of China (1917). The main buildings follow the design of Gutian’s Linshui Palace and consist of the main hall, side hall (dressing room), and the front-stage theater (covering an area of 35 square meters), with a total floor space of about 350 square meters. On the 15th day of the first lunar month, the birthday of Goddess Linshui, worshippers from Pingnan, Jian’ou, Shouning, and the local county come to the hall to offer incense, pray, or receive divine blessings.
