The original 99-and-a-half-room buildings include the mountain gate, the east wing, the west wing, the hall, the hall of the king of the earth, the ancestral hall and other buildings. Its large scale and spectacular momentum have attracted countless monks, scholars, ten elders and good believers to study Buddhism. Due to historical reasons, Miaogao Temple has only 18 rooms, covering an area of 360 square meters. The building in the front hall is a stone foundation with blue bricks and gray tiles, and there is a corridor in the hall. The four wooden pillars in front of the corridor are inlaid with exquisite large wood carvings.

It is famous for its long Buddhist culture in the border region of Henan, Anhui and Hubei, and it will go down in history forever because it witnessed the tragic battle of Fujinshan in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (the battle of Fujinshan was located in this temple, 1938, and the original large Buddhist temple of Miaogao Temple was almost razed by Japanese bombing).
