The architecture of the temple is very unusual, since the back of it rests on a stone boulder called the Lotus Mountain. According to legend, this mountain is the habitat of the goddess Kuam Yam. Another feature of the Lin Fa temple is the windows. The three wooden windows have a unique design and are decorated with traditional Chinese scrolls Dui Lian containing praises of nature and goddess Kuam Yam.
