There are many beautiful rockeries, pavilions, corridors, and ponds spread over a total of 2 hectares. Further down the way is Jade Buddha Temple, still popular to this day with monks, worshippers, and visitors as it was almost 100 years ago. The main highlights of this temple are the 2 Buddha statues brought in from Burma via the sea many years ago, each carved from rare single blocks of white jade and decorated with precious stones.
