Architecture
The temple was designed with sculptures and paintings over an area of 3 hectares.[3] The roof is covered with tiles. It is constructed with Quanzhou architectural style. In the backyard, there is a 76-meter long and 7-meter high Chinese dragon statue which was built in 1979. The dragon mouth forms a 5-meter diameter entrance to the tunnel stretched along the dragon body.[4]
