Night Time Temples 媽祖廟

This weekend I went down to visit Rita family with her they were really nice and very welcoming! When we arrived in the evening they took us to 媽祖廟 where we went to look at the old temple, which sadly a few years ago had a fire at the back, so there still renovating.

We also walked to another temple just across the road, as we walked up to the fifth floor I was confronted by this huge sculpture of 媽祖 it was massive! Even though it’s not my thing it was kind of breathe taking because you were not really expecting to see something so huge

Me.

Apparently the statue was made in China by a famous stone mason and it had to be cut up into section in order to get it up there!

Rita.
