Wan Loong Chinese Temple
Wan Loong Temple is on a hillside overlooking a bend in the road. Wan Loong Temple is an impressive building housing Buddhist and Taoist shrines. There are also some very nice statues of the well known characters Pigsy and the Monkey King. The temple is a pleasant place to visit, and a great location for photography - obviously respecting the religious nature of the site. There was also a fish pond on the grounds. The chinese believe if you feed the tortoise well you will be blessed with good luck. Try it. Buy the "Kangkung"" or spinach vegetables at the nearby Family Mart near the roundabout.
A colourful Temple colorful with serene atmosphere. This is a historical Chinese Temple which has been here for many decades. Tourists flock tortoise during peak time and public holidays. I was told by one of the visitor that there is a in a cage & anyone want to have their wishes fulfilled must touch the tortoise ans then go and see the temple Priest & he will explain further. Any way it's an ancient architecture to be admired.
This majestic looking temple also known as Monkey King Temple. Wan Loong means Dragon of the Clouds and this is the biggest and most beautiful temple in PD. The temple pays homage to Kuan Yin and the Monkey God. There were sculptures and statues which told a tale. Unfortunately it was all written in Chinese so we were clueless to the tale. While in the main hall, enjoy the peace and serenity of the temple.
You could also see the statues of the characters from the fabled "Journey to the West". The outer walls and entrance gates are intricately carved and bursting with color, displaying traditional Chinese motifs, including a large number of dragons. The temple pays homage to many oriental deities, with separate shrines each with their own symbols, style, and character.
The neighbouring restaurant and office complex is built in a very complementary style. The lavish seafood restaurant which bears close resemblance to the temple. Admission to the temple is free and it is open the whole year. It is not affiliated with the temple but the architecture blends with the temple colour scheme. Many bus tourist stop by for their meals and to buy fruits from the vendor in front of the temple.
