In 1930, the seven storey main pagoda of the temple or the Pagoda of 10,000 Buddhas, was completed. This pagoda combines a Chinese octagonal base with a middle tier of Thai design, and a Burmese crown; reflecting the temple’s embrace of both Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism.

Just a reminder to all of you. When you got chance visit this grand kuan yin statue, remember to look at the chest of Kuan Yin, see from side view. I heard people said there is a diamond on the chest of Kuan Yin. We only know this after we left, so no chance to see it.
