Kaifu Temple in Changsha | Receiving blessings and good fortune

My journey | The ancient Kaifu Temple || The temple is not large, many young people come here to check in. Burning incense, drawing lots, hoping for everything to go smoothly, peace... Make a wish: As soon as you enter the gate, there is a Nine Dragons wishing pool, you can throw coins into it to make a wish, it doesn't matter if you don't bring coins, there is a small house next to it specifically for changing coins. The wishing pool is flanked by a bell tower and a drum tower, the bell tower worships the God of Wealth, and the drum tower prays to Guanyin. Burn incense before worshiping Buddha, after crossing the bridge on the left is the Blessing Forest, and the place to burn incense is straight ahead in the Blessing Forest. Incense cannot be brought into the hall, so burn it first (throw it directly into the furnace). Next to the incense burning, there is plain noodles, if you haven't eaten, you can have a bowl, after all, it's next to the God of Wealth's hall, you can get some wealth, but these noodles are called Guanyin longevity noodles🍜, you must finish eating! Draw lots: The middle is the main hall, behind the main hall is the Pilu Hall, where you can count 500 Arhats, because I counted in Nanjing Pilu Temple, I didn't count again, you can only lose once a year, the method of counting Arhats can be seen in the Pilu Temple article. On the right side of the main hall is the Great Compassion Hall for Guanyin, enter and go around clockwise 3, 6, 9, 13 laps, for good luck. 📍Location: No. 52 Kaifu Temple Road, Kaifu District, Changsha City 🚇Subway: Line 1 directly to Kaifu Temple (Exit 1) 🕰️Time: 6:30-17:30 🎫Ticket: 10r/person with a stick of incense (3 sticks) included.
