A golden sitting Buddha statue, 40 feet tall, dominates the temple & The walls of the cavern are decorated with colourful murals depicting characters and events from Chinese mythology and Buddhist scriptures. There are numerous statues and carvings scattered around the temple, including a female with 18 arms who could be Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy.
