This is a nice and active temple. When I went there I stepped into a large buddhist mass, with monks and regular people chanting buddhist sutras together. The temple in itself does not have much that distinguishes it from other temples, but you can always try to fling a coin at the large urn by the entrance for good luck. View Details
