Along its axis stand a gate with elaborate bracketing, a 12 m two-storey opera tower with 19 ridges of glazed ornament, the main hall and a rear sleeping hall, most under green glazed tiles, and a temple fair is held from the 18th day of the third lunar month. The national listing also covers the Dacheng Hall of Zhengzhou's Confucian Temple a few hundred metres to the south.
