Longshan Temple sits on the north facing south, with a zigzag face, is a palace-like building of the classical Chinese three-in-four courtyard, consisting of a front hall, a main hall, an apse and a dragon guard on the left and right. The front hall is 11 bays, divided into Sanchuan Hall, Dragon Gate Hall, and Tiger Gate Hall. In front of the Sanchuan Hall, there is a pair of bronze cast dragon pillars that are only seen in Taiwan, and the front wall is composed of granite and blue bucket stone, and the stories on the wall are mostly from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the list of gods, which is rich in educational significance. The roof of the main hall is composed of 42 pillars in the style of a mountain heavy eaves, and the outer wall of the hall is blocked with many stone carvings of famous calligraphers. The roof of the apse is in the style of heavy eaves, which is a typical Confucian and Taoist worship place for gods and Buddhas. The left and right dragon guards are each equipped with bell towers and drum towers, morning bells and evening drums, and its car-top flat hexagonal roof, which is uniquely shaped. The roof ridges and cornices of the temple are shaped by mascots such as dragons and phoenixes and unicorns, and decorated with shearing and interlacing pottery, which is magnificent in color, which can be called the essence of Taiwan's shearing art.
