The main buildings here are arranged along the central axis, gradually including the mountain gate, the passing hall, the east and west corridors, and the main hall. Originally, there was a plaque with ten thousand characters on the front gate, which read: "The righteousness towers to the sky". There is a majestic wooden archway in front of the tree. A pair of towering flagpoles and two mighty and ferocious iron lions stand in front of the archway. Opposite the mountain gate, there was once a beautifully carved arched stage of the Yuan Dynasty, with painted pillars and carved beams, wide and tall, quite spectacular.

The main hall of the building is three rooms wide and three rooms deep, with a single eaves resting on the top of the mountain and covered with glazed tiles. The three-room wide and two-room deep building in front of the hall was added in the Qing Dynasty. The main hall has no platform, and the walls are built with flat columns. There are two inner columns at the back of the hall, and a finely carved wooden shrine is placed between the columns, all of which have double eaves. There are eleven bucket arches under the eaves, densely arranged and purely decorated, which is a Qing Dynasty structure. The dragon-shaped patterns drawn on the pingqi caisson added in the Qing Dynasty in the hall are diverse and unique.
