Now it has a modern hospital with Chinese medicine and Western medicine, providing free services to patients from all over the world.
The distinctive building is the Guanyin Buddha Hall directly opposite the gate. It is spacious and solemn, classical and gorgeous, with a lot of incense and endless pilgrims.
