constructed in classic minnan double-eave swallowtail roof style, its roof holds complete sets of porcelain cut figure carvings, with sturdy main hall pillars and side corridors lined with stone steles chronicling zhangzhou’s founding history. giant ancient banyans shade the quiet open square outside the temple, away from crowded commercial streets, creating solemn soft incense vibes.
