As a magnificent and large-scaled temple, it is composed of 11 independent building-structures, like the Great Hero Hall, Lofty Hall, Xingyuan Tower and the dinning room of Buddhism temple. The first hall is the Laughing Buddha Hall, again devoted to the Laughing Buddha and Goodness of Mercy. Following down the Laughing Buddha hall, is Pilu hall on the left and Banruo hall on the right.
