This temple was inaugurated in 2003 and takes the form of a palace hall with an auspicious exterior and interior. The exterior walls are covered with interesting and brightly coloured murals, you will see Chinese style roofing with decorative dragons as well as columns in front of the entrance with impressive dragon carvings.
