The West Qin Hall is the building used by Zigong Salt Museum. The house of the museum is very complete. Many stone wall paintings feel that they are about to be completely carved into a statue from the stone wall. The characters carved along the house are now painted again. It is very beautiful. The roof is also sculpted with layers of high eaves.

The club hall is mostly for foreign exchange merchants in the middle and late Qing Dynasty in the local area to discuss internal affairs in the foreign exchange collection and provide a place to rescue the hometown in different places. In order to seek the blessing of the gods, it is usually set up in the Guanyu Temple, the god of Chinese commerce. Zigong, the place where Shaanxi merchants gather, is located under Longfeng Mountain. I heard that there was a stream nearby in the early years, and it has now been cut off. The land occupied by the tube is said to be thousands of square meters, which is a lot. The architectural style is not like Shaanxi, but some Jindi wind, which also explains the influence of Jin merchants at that time.

The main buildings of the West Qin Hall are the gate of Wusheng Palace, the Xianji Building, the Grand View Building, the Fuhai Building, the Jinyu Pavilion, the Yugu Pavilion and so on.

Since ancient salt merchants are many rich. In the first year of Qianlong, Shaanxi merchants who operated salt in Zigong built a West Qin Hall by the Suxi River under Longfeng Mountain for the sake of "resulting in the countryside" and showing luxury and wealth.

This is a typical Chinese building, plane combination, overall square, emphasizing symmetry, clear central axis, hall pavilion, strange shape. The main halls are arranged on the central axis, with lofts and boudoirs built on both sides, and several large and small courtyards are connected by corridor houses, surrounded by walls, which constitute five large and small courtyard groups with deep and layered closures, and can be divided into three units from front to back.
