Dule Temple is one of the top ten attractions in Tianjin, and is known as "morning light of Dule Temple". The entire complex consists of Entrance Gate, Kwan-yin Pavilion, as well as the east and west halls. The Entrance Gate has a single-eaved palace roof, making it the earliest example of its kind among China's historic buildings.  A horizontal board inscribed with the name of the temple hangs under the eastern roof, and the inscription is said to have been written by Yan Song, a premier of the Ming Dynasty. On both sides of the gate, there are two grand statues, commonly referred to as the "heng" and "ha" guards.

Standing at a height of 23 meters, the Kwan-yin Pavilion is the tallest and oldest example of a two-storey pavilion still standing in China. Inside the attic, there is a 16 meters- high clay statue of Kwan-yin and a ten-sided Buddha on the top. Thus, the Kwan-yin statue is also called "The11-sided Bodhisattva." On the surrounding walls are 16 Arhat paintings and pictures of a Three-headed, Six-armed Ming king, painted by artists from the Ming Dynasty.

The Dule Temple is a representative work of ancient Chinese wooden architecture, and was recently added to the UNSCO World Heritage Tentative List.
