As you enter the temple you will need to remove your shoes.
Like its counterpart in Japan, the temple building itself is called the Hoodo or Hall of the Chinese Phoenix as its floor plan models that of the bird. A Hoodo consists of a decorated main temple building, two wings on the left and right sides with tail corridor at the rear. Chinese phoenixes are used to decorate both ends of the roof.
The highlight of the temple is the non-foot Lotus Buddha so named because he sits upon a lotus flower. This is the largest wooden Buddha carved in over 900 years. It is stained in a black lacquer and decorated in gold leaf.
