I visited the temple in mid January 2023. The weather was cool and breezy with slightly humid. The area around wihan has a magnificent mountaintop view with a massive temple court. Inside the wihan, there's a long statue of a reclining Buddha, beautiful marble floor and wood sculpture with storytelling signs. If you are bringing the elderly, don't worry. The floor has a good grip, there are ramps for wheelchairs, and handrails for the stairs. There is also a cloth rental service available for those who are not properly dressed (wearing short pants or a skirt).

I highly recommend this temple for those who love forest temples. It is a peaceful temple with a great view. No matter where you look, you see nature. You can meditate in peace.
