Ulog# 141 MA- CHO Temple, San Fernando La Union, Wednesday walk by @tattoodjay

in #wednesdaywalk5 years ago

Me and my family went to La Union. We were able to visit a temple called Ma- Cho Temple. This is a Taoist temple for the Chinese sea-goddess Mazu.

Before entering this place you have to climb up some stairs.

This made me wonder if this was a statue of the goddess Mazu.

We were actually at the top left corner and you could see the arch and towering tiers of the temple

I was just taking photos of some other statues. I'm really not sure who these were.

The design of the plants looked pleasant to look at.

This tower just looked so epic when I saw it, It was against the light though so I edited it a little

There were different dragons in this temple

One thing that I should have done before visiting this place is to know what's the use of the things that I take photos of. But I think this is where they burn stuff, judging by the burn blocks.

One epic view in this temple is that you could see the bay of San Fernando La Union and you could see where the land extends.

This was the entrance to the temple.

Here's the history of this temple.

When we entered we were at awe with the design inside. This was the altar, I was hesitant to take photos but I ended up doing it because I really loved how this place looked inside.

It really looked beautiful.

When you look above this is what you'll see.

These were the different lanterns hanging.

And when you look back near the entrance this is what you'll see.

This was a very cool place, it reminded me of my childhood memories as I watched Mulan.

When we exited it we went to the side where there was a tower and saw this drum

These were the stairs going down.

This was the most random thing that I saw in this temple. Ronald McDonald sitting on the bench. I really don't know why he was there. We were just laughing so hard with my brother when we saw this. This was so epic. I really enjoyed going here, especially bonding with my family.

What a beautiful collection of photos! I enjoyed sharing your trip through the temple with you. And what in the world is Ronald McDonald doing there? I'd have been cracking up too!
