In this Taoist "Temple of the Green Pirates" there are lamps dating back over 200 years, a jade seal more than 1000 years old and several altar-guards carved 300 years ago in Peking. The principal temple, built in 1959, is dedicated to Lui Tung Piu (or Loi Choi), one of the Eight Immortals of Taoism, usually depicted with a magical sword which enables him to make himself invisible and conceal himself in the sky. The other immortals are Han Hsiang Tzu, Lau Tsai-Ho, Chung-Li Chuan, Chang Kuo, Ho Hsien Ku, Li Tieh-Kwai and Tsao Kuo-Chin.
Two of the buildings in the complex contain thousands of tablets commemorating ancestors, some of them reserved for people who are still alive. Taoist texts are inscribed on the temple walls.
