Building Information
The main hall is located at the north end of this north-south-oriented shrine complex. It is three bays deep and five bays wide with hip-gable (xieshan 歇山) roof. A second set of eaves shelters a front veranda, giving the hall the appearance of having a double-eaves roof. There is a statue of Tang Shuyu inside of the main hall, and the pillars in front of the statue are decorated with four-claw dragons (Liu 2015, 45-46). 1
