Entering the temple gate, there is a wide Baishizi Road, with green pine forests on both sides, and the main hall is a golden hall with a width of 7 rooms. The whole building presents the skill and style of China's wooden structure building in Tang Dynasty. To the northeast of the temple is the Kaishan Temple in Jian Zhen, where Jian Zhen is said to be buried. There is a lotus pond in front of the temple. Because Jian Zhen liked to listen to the gurgling water before his death, his disciples dug a pond in front of the tomb to draw water.
