Dai Bai (main worship hall):
Across a wide courtyard is the main hall, consisting of three bays and two side wings, with four curved roof corners and a roof covered with traditional local tiles. In the center of the roof ridge is a dragon flanking the sun above a tiger talisman. Running down the roof edges on both sides are a pair of sau made of tile-edge material, and the four roof corners are four writhing dragon shapes. Connecting to the ornamental pillars are low walls; on the two low walls are two deities, Vu Dinh and Thien At, standing guard. On the two ornamental pillars at the sides, the tops are decorated with a pair of nghe facing each other, below are blank lantern panels without decorative patterns. The pillar bodies have raised edges and lines and bear Chinese-character couplets, and the bases are square.
Inside, through the doorway, is a simply made system of hinged wooden doors. The roof trusses are uniformly made in the 'stacked beams and lower panels' style. The trusses here are smoothly planed and tightly joined, without decorative patterns. The panels are carved in openwork with dragons, dragon-horses, phoenixes, bamboo, plum blossoms, and scrolls bearing Chinese characters... The beam ends are carved with dragons. The wooden trusses are stacked on concrete columns, and on the upper ridge is a line of Chinese characters reading: 'Hoang trieu Bao Dai thap that nien tue thu Nham Ngo nhi nguyet thap luc nhat than bi trung tu tu mieu thu tru thuong luong dai cat xuong'.
