Upon entering the monastery, the words "香海名山" (Fragrant Sea and Prestigious Mountain) will be perceived engraved on the portico.

On the reverse side are the words "回頭是岸" (Repentance is Salvation), an inscription by Reverend Tit Xim.

According to legend, an Indian monk who liked travelling in a wooden cup was believed to have lodged where the monastery now stands.

Attracted by the natural wonders and the serene milieu, he built a chalet there for practicing meditation.

Adjoining to the Main Worship Hall is Ching Wan Koon, which is dedicated to Dou Lao, a goddess who is believed to be able to relieve people from their worries.
