Overview
It has a beautiful surrounding environment and is lined with trees. The ancient building complex of Qiqu Mountain Great Temple integrates the architecture of Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.There are 23 halls and attics spread over, within a site. The temple architecture cleverly used the topography of the site and was built on a hill, and was not bound by the tradition of parallel central axis, showing a flexible and natural style. The entire temple is exquisitely designed, with stilts on the ridges, sloping corners and volleys. The layers of the pavilions are staggered, with unique carved beams and building designs. There are both majestic palace-style buildings in the north and small and exquisite garden-style buildings in the south.
