Qingxiu Temple
The wooden main hall has a pyramidal roof and surrounding corridors. At the garden entrance, a purification basin and a stone pillar inscribed Baidu Stone (百度石) recall worshippers’ preparations and prayers. Eighty-eight stone Buddhas line a wall, representing a miniature version of the Shikoku (四國) pilgrimage that immigrants could undertake without travelling to Japan.
Cihui Temple
Cihui Temple has a double-eaved roof decorated with ceramic appliqué and glazed pottery. Inside, a statue of the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool (瑤池金母) stands beneath a layered, recessed ceiling. Steps on either side lead to Lingxiao Hall (凌霄寶殿) behind the main hall. Sheng'an Temple (勝安宮) is separated from Cihui by just a wall.
