The front section of the rear building is adorned with coiled dragon stone pillars, preserving the architectural style of Jiangnan temples before the mid-Qing Dynasty. There are three side rooms on both the east and west, with a total construction area of over 500 square meters. The stage is square-shaped with a hip roof and contains a ceiling well. The front eaves of the main hall feature bluestone columns with dragon patterns. The internal structure combines post-and-beam and cantilever systems.

Originally serving as a place for the Jiang, Ren, Song, Shan, and Zhang families to worship their ancestors, Wushan Temple is now the Xikou Museum. The opening hours and specific business status are subject to the day’s opening conditions.
