Lie Mei Hall, Historic ancestral hall in Xiping Village, Taiwan.

Lie Mei Hall is the ancestral hall of the Zhang-Liao family in Xitun District, Taichung. The original hall was rebuilt in 1926-1927, then replaced in 1986-1988 by a two-storey reinforced-concrete structure. In front of it, the former Da Yu Pond, dug by Liao Liemei for irrigation, became Xiping Dayuchi Cultural Park in 1996.

Liao Liemei migrated from Zhao'an County in Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian, to Xitun in Taichung in the early years of the Jiaqing reign and built the ancestral home called Dayuchi Zuju, the present Lie Mei Hall. The building was rebuilt in 1926-1927, in the first and second years of Showa. In 1986 it was converted into a two-storey reinforced concrete structure, completed in 1988, and in 2012 the Taichung City Government registered it as a historic building.

The hall is the ancestral home of Lao Er Ma, the second Mazu of Wanhe Temple, whose spirit is said to belong to Liao Pin-niang, a daughter of the Liao family. Every three years the goddess's pilgrimage to Xitun stops here, a custom recorded since the Jiaqing era and registered by Taichung in 2018 as a folk cultural asset.

Lie Mei Hall stands in Xiping Village, Xitun District, Taichung. The former big fish pond in front of the hall became Xiping Dayuchi Culture Park in 1996, so the hall and park can be visited together. The Lao Er Ma pilgrimage stops at the hall every three years, when the lanes fill with worshippers.

The hall is also called the ancestral home of Lao Er Ma, the second Mazu of Wanhe Temple. Her spirit is said to belong to Liao Pin-niang, a daughter of the Liao family, and every three years the goddess's procession stops at Lie Mei Hall.
