The replica is about 50 centimeters high, 1 meter long and 1 meter wide.

Hassan does use colors in his work, but he used reddish inside lighting to reflect on the outside of the historic Chinese temple.

"The only thing missing now is writing the name of the temple in Chinese. I am still practicing writing the Chinese letters so that they would look proper on the sign of the temple replica," Hassan points out, adding with a smile that the Chinese letters are very difficult for him to write.
