It is the first large-scale temple built in the Xiamen area since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The architectural complex, with its red walls and yellow tiles, is magnificent and imposing, making it the third largest Buddhist temple in Xiamen and the second on the island. Located on the southeastern foothills of Xianyue Mountain, the temple's red walls and golden tiles, flying eaves, and pavilions are nestled among greenery. With the sound of morning bells and evening drums, the chanting of sutras, and the lingering incense smoke, it is especially striking.
