Its main buildings are situated along the central axis facing south, gradually unfolding, with the tall south-facing Shanmen, the central Three Saints Hall, and the north-facing Great Buddha Hall, which are layered and high.

Inside the temple, we can see relics from the Liao Dynasty, such as the Four Great Heavenly Kings and the Eighteen Arhats, as well as the exquisite Five-Dragon Wall.
