Travel to "Teochew Land", Shantou(汕头), China Part 2

Time really flies..today is the last day of this month and I almost missed to keep to my target of putting minimum one blog a month.


Let me try to catch up from where I left off.


In Shantou, there are many temples. In fact, about 70-80% of our places of interests are temples.
The below pic is an example...



You have to read the name of the temple yourself as I cannot read the 3rd word..(it's like Dragon' Spring..something).




The special' thing about this temple is right at the entrance.Many people treat it as a wishing well..me too, I threw in some RMB. However, according to our tour guide, there is a belief for folks around there..If you wana have baby..especially baby boy..you must go and touch the boys' backsides...!!


I was a bit skeptical..but thanks to my niece Shiya, I  managed to join in the fun! We shall find out if the belief here is really true in time to come ;)


The other temple that we went too..its special too. They do not just use incense sticks and candles, they also use firecrackers here! I have never seen so much firecrackers altogether at the same time!





In fact, they do have a proper designated firing point for you to set off the firecrackers. Safe! 






Thats all for temple for now. I will try to finish up the whole of my Shantou trip over the next few days..please bear with me..
