What to expect

Colorful Shrine of Mercy

This small Chinese shrine centers on Guan Yin, with a teak statue, vivid frescoes, and ornaments crowding the roof and walls. It tends to be busy yet oddly calm, with incense burning in designated spots and prayers for blessings filling the air. Next door sits a hospital and charity work is part of the rhythm here, so worship and practical care share the same address.

This unique temple is situated next to a public hospital that specializes in hemodialysis. The temple's roof and walls are richly decorated with numerous ornaments, adding to its allure. Visitors come here to pray for a healthy life, guided by the deity worshipped at this serene sanctuary.
