Ive visited this temple a few years ago but it was quite late in the evening to photograph and document this location. I remember quite well back then, that the caretaker was around to introduces about this place but on this trip, she wasn’t around to fill my questions. Probably, i’ll be luckier in future. Upon arrival, there were already people from a far doing their prayers and some were telling me stories on how they came upon this place.

The facade of this temple is design with two carved dragon pillars with its external beams decorated with mythological images of dragon and phoenix painted in gold. A set of Stone Lions (Shi Shi /石獅) is also place at the front guarding the temple from negative elements.

Its interior is maintain clean, housing three altars. The main altar, elegantly crafted, is dedicated to the worshipped of its main patron deity, Bai Yi Niang Niang / 白衣娘娘 aka White Robe Guan Yin.
