Xitian Temple is located at No. 75 Yixing Street, Longhua District, Haikou City. The temple covers an area of 1193 square meters, with an original construction area of over 900 square meters. It features a main hall in three sections, with a skywell between the first and second sections, and a worship pavilion between the second and third sections, flanked by eastern and western corridors.
The entire temple is constructed with bricks and wood, employing a T-shape bracket system (single bracket system). The main entrance is adorned with a stone carving that reads ‘Xitian Temple’ in relief, which is the work of Zhang Yuesong, a famous calligrapher and a探花 from the Qing Dynasty, who was originally from Qiong Prefecture. Inside, the temple boasts exquisitely crafted beams and rafters, with a complete set of wood carvings and narrative paintings on the brackets and walls. The story characters are vividly portrayed, making it a rare ancient architectural structure preserved in Hainan Province to this day. It is open all year round, with full-day access. The specific opening hours are subject to on-site announcements.Xitian Temple
