Po Lin Monastery

Featuring the architectural design of Ming and Qing's palace, the Main Shrine Hall of Buddha has a gable roof made of yellow-glazed tiles. The roof ridge is decorated with zoomorphic ornaments, dragons and phoenixes and animal patterns. On the front and the back of the hall, you can see coiled dragons carved from granite in the Minnan style. The architecture features of both the north and the south of China are incorporated. The Grand Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas went on the drawing board in 2000. It now enshrines more than 100 statues. 

After years of development, Po Lin Monastery is now a major Buddhist establishment combined with majestic architecture, Buddhist culture, landscapes, sculptural art, traditions and modernity.
