Visiting the Hainan Temple in Penang to Pray for Blessings

Last week, I visited the Thean Hou Kong Temple, also known as Penang's Hainan Temple. In countries with Chinese communities, it is common to worship Mazu, the goddess who protects the sea and fishermen. Therefore, people often come to pray for her protection before embarking on a journey. This temple also has a unique way of drawing fortune sticks. You close your eyes, make a wish, and pick one stick from the container. There is a fortune-telling box placed below.
