It has been closed since January 24, or Chinese New Year鈥檚 Eve, due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Five pavilions 鈥 the Heavenly Kings Hall, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Hall, Grand Hall, Jade Buddha Statue Hall and Memorial Hall 鈥 will open to worshippers and tourists but other buildings will stay shut.
Visitors are required to scan a QR code of the temple to register their name, identity card number and telephone number beforehand. Each visitor can make a reservation once a day.
All visitors must show their health QR code and reservation code before entering the site and must wear masks. Temperatures will be checked at the entrance and those with abnormal temperatures will be prohibited.
Foreigners with passports or seniors who don鈥檛 use smartphones can register with their certificates at the temple gate.
To prevent the gathering of people, sutra-writing events have been suspended. Visitors are asked to keep their distance and heed the guidance of temple staff and volunteers.
