the ground
Dang, the ground has really risen since 1870. Now the second floor is about the same height as road level
Re: Lin Fa Kung
Hi There,
I believe there had not been a second floor ever. The temple was partially built upon a BIG rock shaped like a lotus flower. The pillars are arches formed as the support of the platform.
On the other hand, the temple used to be just steps from the shore. There were times the high tide would be as high as the platform. Further information could be read from the website of Lin Fa Kung.
