Thank you Bengbeng for everything. You have been very kind. I hope we can go for more shooting together again soon.

Soon a prayer session started.

It was a spiritual experience.

The Yu Lung San Tien En Si Temple is situated at Km26 Sibu-Bintulu Road. It is hoped that with the building of the temple, three faiths : — Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism will be brought closer together. Some say it is the biggest in terms of size in Asia. It has four “Dians” or halls — Davejara, Mahavira, Maitreya and Daomodian.

Mahavira is the biggest, measuring 24m high, 33m wide and 44m long.

    great complex of temples. Brought my west msian friends there last month. they were marveled at the presence of chinese here in sarawak. from kuching to sibu, every minute of life was a surprise for them. they were at a loss for words when they saw this temple. My friends call sarawak little taiwan, if minus the english words, it will become either taiwan, china or hong kong.

    i was dumbfounded too when i arrived there to see a structure on such a massive scale… tells us something about the freedom of worship in our country. i was stunned when i saw the donors list. the overwhelming generosity of the donors
