The temple was built in traditional Fujian architectural style with East Asian hip-and-gable roofs. The temple building has three entrances, a front worship hall, a main hall, a rear hall and wings on both sides. The archway of the temple is in Northern Chinese architectural style and the wing rooms in Southern Chinese style.[1] It features a museum which showcases works by master painter Pan Lishui (traditional Chinese: 潘麗水; simplified Chinese: 潘丽水; pinyin: Pān Lìshuǐ).[2]
