Fully considering the temple’s status as a historical and cultural site protected by the provincial government, the firm has valued the temple’s original style and features. The restoration has not damaged the outer walls nor reduced the size of the green plum tree grove and Fangsheng Pond. The outdated and unusable restroom facilities, built in the 90’s, were demolished and the garbage on the slope north of the pond was removed. During the construction process, we used as much of the old materials as possible, including wood, stone, and blue brick.
