A small garden at the back with lotus flowers is a nice place to have a rest for a while.
Inside are a number of statues of deities with rich paintings, where worshippers bring their gifts and burn incense sticks, a Buddha with a painted halo , a strange warrior with a long red tongue and many other statues; these painted statues are impressive; the main altar is not less impressive with its numerous gold plated statues.
It is really worth to visit inside for some time, watch people and be impressed by the rich decoration of this pagoda which, from outside looks just common until you see the square tower and its roof; you then want to go inside.
