The Jiwang Temple faces south and is 108 meters long from north to south, 38 meters wide from east to west, and covers an area of ​​4,100 square meters. The plane layout adopts the traditional Chinese central axis symmetry. The original mountain gate was destroyed early.

The Xian Hall is three rooms wide and three rooms deep, with a single eaves hanging on the top of the mountain. There are no eaves walls in front and back, leading directly to the Jiwang Temple.
