I happened to be in the area and decided to take a visit at the temple. Outside you can see a tall Kuan Yin (Goddess of Mercy Statue) located there.

There’s also the Maitreya Buddha in which you can pay respect to. During the time when I was there, a family came to offer some oil and rice to the temple.

Inside Sau Seng Lam temple (updated in 2018):

When you step into the temple on your left, there would be stores selling Buddhist items such as prayer beads, CDs, jossticks and decorative items. Behind, there is quite a spacious area containing many places that you can go and pray your respects to:

Based on the guide above, it is written as follows:

1. Fold your arms, concentrate your mind, to walk the path that enlightening all bodhisattvas and devas. To make vows bravely. Recite Ten Great Vows of Universal Worthy Boddhisattva tacily.

Note: I do see this similarity with the Buddha statue of Wat Mahathat in Ayuthaya, Thailand.

2. Boddhi Diamond Tree– to pay respect to all Buddhas, to praise the “thus come one” hope our hearts of learning dhamma and doing charity would be firm and unshakable like diamond.

3. Sprinkle of Auspicious Dragons- to make offering extensively, to regret karmic obstacles, hope the protection and blessing of all devas, mind purifying, peaceful and delighting.

4. Make obeisance to Buddha’s feet– To be joyful over others meritorious deeds, to appeal to the Buddha, to turn the Dhamma Wheel, to cultivate merits and wisdom unanimously.

5. To visit Mount Jiuhua– to accord with all sentient beings, to share and transfer all Merits, may this virtous merit, to dispel bad karma.

6. To visit Holy Statue of Earth Store Boddhisattva:

Note: The large Earth Store Boddhisattva statue (height is from ground to the height ceiling). It is hard for me to catch a clear picture of the features as the few times I am there the backlight is very strong. But the statue is really majestic and gives a peaceful feeling when you pay respect.

There is also the Three Buddhas located next to the Earth Store Boddhisatva.

There is also the Thousand Arm Guan Yin statue.

In another area, there is a small fountain with the Buddha statue:

Followed by the Sleeping Buddha as you go further in:

The temple is wheelchair friendly.
