The Jiwang Temple was originally called Houji Temple, which was built to worship the ancestor of agriculture.
A temple built for Hou Ji.
It was first built in the Yuan Dynasty and is located in Jishan County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province.
The plane layout adopts the traditional Chinese central axis symmetry.
The original mountain gate was destroyed long ago. From the front to the back, there are the Offering Hall,
Houji Hall, Bagua Pavilion, Jianglu Hall, etc.
There are bell and drum towers on both sides. The offering hall is three bays wide.
It is three rooms deep, with a single-eaved hip roof.
