Wu Shan Temple

Wu Shan Temple, named after its location at the southern foot of Wu Mountain, boasts a complete temple structure divided into two main sections with eastern and western corridors. In the central courtyard, there is a traditional stage, and the front porch of the rear section is adorned with coiled dragon stone pillars, maintaining the architectural style of Jiangnan temples from before the mid-Qing Dynasty.

Wu Shan Temple is an important ancestral temple within the Xikoutou Town, facing southeast with a northwest orientation. The axis includes the mountain gate, stage, eastern and western wings, and the main hall. There are also three side rooms on each side, with a total construction area of over 500 square meters. The stage is square-shaped with a hip roof and an internal well, while the front eaves of the main hall feature bluestone columns with dragon patterns. The internal structure combines both dougong and抬梁 construction techniques.
