The largest Lin ancestral hall was built in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, with a history of nearly 700 years. It is a landmark building that records the Lin family's migration from Putian, Fujian to Nanxiong, Guangdong, and then to Shilong, Dongguan. Formerly known as Cuntang.
Lin ancestral hall covers an area of1230m2. It is a traditional Lingnan ancestral temple with four brick buildings and two original internal and external forts.
The second "Nine Animal Husbandry Archway" is to commemorate the nine sons of Lin Zu, all of whom are "Nine Animal Husbandry Prizes". There is a screen door under the signboard, which is usually closed, only to welcome the big officials of Beijing and the provincial capitals, and two rows of stables for the horses of officials in Beijing or other places to rest.
