According to research, the temple faces south, stretching 54 meters from north to south and 20 meters from east to west, covering an area of 1,080 square meters. Existing structures include the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Middle Hall, and Rear Hall. The original Front Hall and the East and West Side Halls collapsed due to disrepair in the 1940s. The Bell and Drum Towers are situated on either side of the central axis. They are pavilion-style buildings with flush gable roofs, measuring 3.83 meters in length from north to south, 3.53 meters in width from east to west, and 5 meters in height.
