Best known temple on the island facing sea and commanding an impressive view. It is an important pilgrimage centre for Buddhists from Southeast Asia. The best time to visit is during Chinese New Year celebrations which are particularly impressive. For 30 days following Chinese New Year, the temple remains open until late at night whilst thousands of lights turn the scenery into a sea of light. During the festival days, the complex is decorated with thousands of lanterns representing donations offered by devotees.
