Qiaogoutou Jade Emperor Temple (Sixth Batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units)
Era: Yuan to Qing
Address: Qiaogoutou Village, Zezhang Town, Xinjiang County
Originally built in the Tang Dynasty, with renovations during the Jin and Yuan periods and again in the 41st year of the Jiajing reign in the Ming Dynasty (1562). Existing structures include the main hall, stage, Horse King Hall, and offering hall. The main hall is a Yuan Dynasty remnant, featuring a three-bay width, four-rafter depth, and a single-eave hanging gable roof. Opposite the main hall is the connected triple-stage (with the middle stage already removed), a Ming Dynasty remnant, whose backstage bears performance inscriptions from the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty. The Horse King Hall preserves Qing Dynasty murals covering 17 square meters on its east and west walls.
