Nice, many praying so didn't take loads of photos. I enjoyed this. Theres donations and postcards and a little shop (didnt go in (around the corner) which you need to walk to to see. Theres suppose to be water but it was empty, you could go to a sink and get though.

This temple is famous for its Deity Procession during Chinese New Year. Opposite the temple is a food court with vegetarian options, open as early as 6 am with ready-to-eat dishes, and there’s also a soup stall. After worship, I noticed a postcard kiosk where you can buy postcards yourself and pay via QR code. There’s a stamping corner to personalize your postcards—a nice souvenir for friends overseas. Nearby, there’s a souvenir shop, and straight ahead are the washrooms.

It's Chinese temple. It's small temple. I think it's very important temple in the history.

The temple is small but rich in history, with its intricate architecture and well-preserved artifacts. It’s a peaceful place to visit, and you can feel the deep connection it holds for the local community. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area, especially if you enjoy exploring cultural landmarks. It’s a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of the city!
