The temple to worship the Guan Yu Buddhist God as well as others Buddhist duties in the Chinese version of ancient Buddhist beliefs. The temple is very well kept despite its old existence. We arrived at around 9am in the morning when the temple just open. The lady who's takes care of the temple she quickly light up the candle lamp for us to ignite the incense. She asked us what nationality are we from and when she knows rhay we are Thais, she tried to spend with us a little in Thai and teach us how to properly pray for the Buddhist duties for our own prosperity. She is very lovely and even showed us how many incense needs for each God.
