Located northeast of the piers this venerable multi-level Chinese temple is up a high on a cliff and has a spectacular view back toward the mainland. The temple has many rooms and caves to be explored. At the top, there is a white building which houses a Buddha footprint. This is where we have the most beautiful view on this side of Ko Sichang.. During Chinese New Year in February, the island is overrun with Chinese visitors from the mainland.
