Kanowit Taoist temple showcases local Chinese religious art
I mentioned before when we reached Kanowit, we were too late for the power boat regatta.
This is the only power boat we saw
However I loved this dabai or local Sarawakian olive sculpture.
Being a very hot day, I was looking seriously for a place to cool down. When I went over to this place I saw this temple which looked very welcoming.
It was cool inside the temple.
The mystical dragon
The altar
I hope somebody will tell me what the characters in this piece of art means.
This is absolutely beautiful. A specimen of imported from China art
A cauldron in a temple is never empty.
