When you are tired, you can sit on the open grass and rest on the stones that were carried by Wang Jingqing and his classmates in the 1930s. The temple adopts a double-eaved octagonal spire design, which is very Chinese in style. From a distance, the bird outside the temple looks like a red cross. The furnishings in the temple also express the Christian philosophy with strong Chinese cultural colors. There is also a Mingzhen here, which is the entrance to the meditation. It looks similar to a maze, but in fact there is a clear path. The entrance is also the exit, which is quite speculative. This is a good place to quietly visit and experience it slowly.
