The layout of the temple is designed into two main halls linked to the 'Zuo Zhuah' Tower at the rear that commanded bird's eye views of the surrounding, and brandished magnificently its benevolent image within the red barricade-wall. The Teochew monastery is landscaped in such a way that it bears close resemblance to that of the ancient Imperial Palace. In the central forefront of the monastery stood its flagship majestic entrance-gate, which attracts the attention of every passer-by with that antique and the solemn feel. The halls are roofed with green crystalline-tiles. Each of the four roof corners of every structure are pointed upon the sky by exemplifying the psychological instinct of human beings to always look up to something higher and better and not the other way round. The sculptures of dragons commonly seen everywhere on the structures of the monastery are almost life liked and are believed to bring prosperity and fortune by the phenomenal portrayal of dragon with its celestial pearl.

The main structure of the monastery is the two halls linked to the four-storey tower. The layout is intended to be one horizontal with two verticals formation depicting the interwoven features that augments the perfect and sterling structure for our official place of worship. In the middle of the two halls is an al frésca garden. The tall building at the back is the four-storey 'Zuo Zhuah' Tower that locks the two halls into unison. For the purpose of virtual guide across the compound of the monastery, we will proceed through the following sequence that hopefully bring across better understanding of our temple at the end of every visits by every visitors.
