(4)Visit the Goddess of the Seas Temple
The Goddess of the Seas Temple is often
ignored by the travelers because of its location.
It is actually a museum of Chinese religions or Chinese religion supermarket, as the temple has more than 10 gods' statues.
You can learn more about the Chinese religions or get the helps from different gods very easily.
Also the 'tiger skin',which was taken from a killed tiger at Stanley in 1942, is an interesting exhibit.
