Introduction to the main hall: is the most important building in the Qing'an Guild Hall. It is a five-bay, raised-beam type double-eaves building imitating the top of a mountain. Directly above the main hall hangs a plaque with gold characters on a red background, "The Holy Miracle is Revealed". The Danbi stone in front of the hall is carved with the image of Thean Hou Palace being guarded by a giant dragon. The carving is exquisite and has profound meaning. The four eaves pillars in front of the hall are more than 4 meters high. The bluestone dragon and phoenix reliefs on the pillars include a pair of dragons in the center and phoenixes on both sides. The hollow carving technique is a rare masterpiece in stone carving art; the Meiyu stone bas-relief strip screen on the inner wall of the hall has a relief depth of less than 1 cm. , vividly reproduces the "Ten Scenes of the West Lake"; under the high platform in the center of the hall is the rudder of the "Jiang Ya Lun" that sank in 1948.
