#2024wish My 2024 travel wish is to fly to Guangzhou. I would like to try out their local dishes there. I also hope to visit their temple and museum there too. The Kuan Chee Tng Temple is located at the Moulmein road. Here, you will find the ancestral zone where the people put their ancestor here to be blessed by the Buddha and deities here. The temple is looked after by the Guan yin Goddess, the big Buddha, and the earth lord deity. Remember to offer a license stick for praying and show your sincerity and respect in the temple.

#2024wish My 2024 travel wish is to visit Beijing .I would like to try out their local dish and visit their attractions and landmarks there. I hope to be able to get to know new friends there and be able to visit their shopping mall there. The Kuan Chee Tng Temple is located near the novena area. It is a very huge and prestigious temple there. I went there on a weekday and the temple was quiet. There are several deities of worship there. I like the colourful lights there which bring up the atmosphere of the temple there.
