The yard is rectangular, with the gate facing southeast. There are three buildings in the courtyard, one of which is the main hall, and three small halls, namely Guanyin Hall, Shengdi Hall and Xianzhen Hall, for the use of relevant gods.

The temple was built in the Jin Dynasty and is said to be the ancestral hall of the Nanyue Holy Emperor. It was prosperous in the past dynasties, but was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, leaving only new walls and ruins.

There is a pool on the top of the peak, and nine springs gush out from the bottom of the pool. The water in the pool is sweet, crystal clear, and the gurgling sound is elegant and pleasant.

It is said that in ancient times, its main peak had nine peaks, all of which contained the aura of heaven and earth. The Yellow Emperor climbed Xiong Mountain and transformed into nine golden dragons, following the pond into the East China Sea. Kowloon Pond got its name for a reason.

From then on, the clear spring overflowing from the pool flowed down from the top of the mountain, into the dense forest, through the rocks, into the deep pool, and merged into 4 at the foot of the mountain.
