Opened as a rural retreat in 1949, the temple contains lanterns from Beijing’s Imperial Palace as well as gardens, fishponds and an artificial hill. Its houses also hold memorial niches for ashes. That combination explains why families come to remember relatives during Ching Ming and Chung Yeung, alongside the temple’s religious life.
What to look for
Lanterns from Beijing’s Imperial Palace are among the temple’s treasures.
Chinese-style gardens include fishponds and a small artificial hill.
