About Main Hall of Changle Dragon King Temple
A Yuan-dynasty hall for worshipping the dragon king, standing about 50 m south-west of Changle village in Suobao town and counted among the few timber-framed Yuan buildings left in Hebei. It is three bays wide (10.10 m), two bays deep (12.15 m) and 6.55 m high. It is a small village temple rather than a developed attraction, and worth a stop for those interested in early timber architecture, for example when visiting nearby Nuwa Palace.
