The Taoist temple is built with a more ornate and flashy style common to religious architecture in China. On top of the building is a pagoda-style roof.

The temple is the center of worship for Taoism, the religion which follows the teachings of the ancient Chinese philosopher. Another ritual among Taoist devotees, which is done during Wednesdays and Sundays,[4] is the climbing of its 81 steps (representing the 81 chapters of Taoism scriptures) to light joss sticks and have their fortune read by the monks.
