Thean Hou Temple (天后宫)


On the fifth day of the Lunar Calendar (Thursday), me and Elmo went to Thean Hou Temple (some might refer to it as TIAN HOU GONGto pray, little did we know that there are a lot of others going up too, so with a little effort, my car survived the hike up. It was indeed crowded and lots of new things was available. Wasn't able to snap a lot of pics, but these are among what I got:
Dragon

Fortune Bridge

Maitreya Buddha

Maitreya Buddha Guide

Thean Hou Temple Lantern
