It features several halls such as the Pure Yang Hall, Lingxiao Hall, Yuanchen Hall, Guanyin Hall, and the Three Saints Hall. Among them, the Sanqing Hall is the central structure, dedicated to the Three Pure Ones: Yuqing (Yuan Shi Tianzun), Shangqing (Ling Bao Tianzun), and Taiqing (Dao De Tianzun).
