Thien Hau Temple

The size of the Chinese city in Los Angeles is not very large. The Chinese people as a whole still feel a little stiff. There are no buildings over San Francisco that look powerful and most of them feel old and dirty. The square at the entrance of Tianhou Palace has become a well-known gathering place for the local Chinese people.

It is not a true Buddhist temple, dedicated to the ancient Chinese god Mazu, built in the 1980s by a group of Chinese boat people from Vietnam to express their gratitude to the goddess who helped them reach the United States. If narrator Michael is there, it is recommended to visit. If you don’t follow the guide, you will miss some details, even if you look at the beautiful alcoves and exhibits.

Every time I come here, I will feel the charm of Tianhou Palace, which has a long history.
