Introduction to the Main Hall: Four thick vermilion columns stand in front of the hall. In the main hall, there are seven Buddha statues in the front, more than ten feet high; there is a statue of Guanyin in the back, with colorful paintings of the Eighteen Arhats as the lining. Behind the main hall, there is a corridor-style shrine. The north and south halls are each more than 30 meters long, and the statues have different expressions. At the end of the hall corridor, there is a sutra collection building. There is a circular corridor upstairs and downstairs, with more than 300 door decorations and murals on the four walls. Downstairs is the Imperial Palace. There are three Buddha statues in the shrine, which are as big as real people. In the middle is Emperor Jianwen, wearing cassock and sitting upright. The inscription on the forehead of the shrine is: "Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty". The pillars of the shrine are carved with two dragons holding the pillars, standing facing each other with teeth and claws spread, which is lifelike.
