About

A Cantonese assembly hall in Cho Lon, built around 1760, with a multi-tiered ceramic roof full of figurines.

Why go

The temple roof is covered in glazed ceramics that tell stories in intricate detail, and many large incense coils hang inside. On a tour of Cho Lon, this is a stop worth making.

Good to know

Sources give different opening hours (some say it closes at midday, others say it is not open on Sunday), so go on a weekday morning to be safe. The Goddess's feast day on 23 March of the lunar calendar is very crowded.

On the menu
