It covers about 20,000 sq m in several groups, among them the Dongyue palace, a Hell hall and the Huaqing pool; only the palace's main hall is Yuan, five bays wide and deep under a double-eave hip-gable roof, and the rest is Ming and Qing. The temple appears on a national rural-tourism route for Linfen promoted in 2024, alongside Xiaoxitian and the Guangsheng area.
