Said to date from the 18th century, among the city's oldest temples. A tall seven-storey stupa stands in the grounds, and the halls inside are full of carved wooden pillars and gilded Buddhas. Incense hangs in the air and it is far calmer than downtown. The old timber carving and signboards are worth a slow look.
