    The temple is sometimes known as The Green Temple.

    On the red pillars on both sides are Chinese characters that remind the current generation not to forget their ancestors. Chinese people remember their ancestors through a unique tradition called ancestor worship. They would put up pictures or inscriptions about their ancestors and offer food and joss sticks as a way to seek their blessings. It's similar to the Catholic practice of seeking intervention from the saints, upright people who have passed away.

    The first thing that will strike you is the open space concept. You will realize that the courtyard is inside the building as opposed to the outside.
