Thean Hou Temple



Thean Hou Temple:

The Thean Hou temple is one of the largest and most ornate Chinese temples in the region. The six-tiered temple is dedicated to Tian Hou, or The Heavenly Mother. But it also houses two other altars, one for Shui Wei Sheng Niang, the Goddess of the Waterfront and another for Kuan Yin, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. Its grand architecture and fantastic views make it a tourist favorite.
