From the front to the back of the middle line, there are four courtyards: the mountain gate, the heavenly king hall, the Mituo hall, and the rear hall. On both sides, there are wing rooms and auxiliary halls. The scale is spectacular and orderly.

Layout structure

Mituo hall has five square rooms, surrounded by corridors, double eaves and nine ridge roofs, five Dou Gong pavilions, and four rafters on the beam frame, with the back breast on the gold pillars. It is a pure system of Yuan Dynasty. In the hall, there are Maituo Buddha, Guanyin and dashizhi.

The lower floor is the three Buddha cave and the upper floor is the Sutra Pavilion.
