14 Feb 2025 No entry ticket needed, just walk in to visit. There have few temples you can pay a workship, main workship place beside the boat shape temple, inside sold many type of Buddha status. And the boat shape temple you can go up there, workship place above the entrance you walk in. Therefore all toilet are free and you can take free water if available just beside the temple.
