The main hall is a three-bay, 14-meter-wide building with an overhanging-gable roof (xuanshan 懸山). 8.9 meters in depth, it encompasses 124 square meters and is said to be an original Qing building, possibly dating to the 1737 reconstruction of the site. The Medicine King (Yaowang 藥王) is the central divinity with a True Lord (Zhenjun 真君; also described as Cangwang 倉王) to the left, and a Dragon King (Longwang 龍王) at right (Liu 2016, vol. 5, 157).
