Seeking to land at the Haikou Xingchao Tianhou Palace Mazu Temple

🌸 Xingchao Tianhou Palace, also known as Baishamen Tianhou Palace, is located on Haidian Island in Haikou City, Hainan Province. It is a religious building with a long history. This Tianhou Palace is not only the first Mazu temple built in Hainan but also the starting point of Mazu culture in Hainan. Its construction began in the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of about 800 years. Initially, the Tianhou Palace was established in Baishamen Village in the urban area of Haikou, a place that once served as the largest port in Hainan during the Tang and Song dynasties, close to the docks and streets of that time. Precautions⚠️ 1. When entering the ancestral temple to pray for blessings, remember to announce your family name first. Upon entering, men should step in with their left foot first, while women should step in with their right foot first. Be sure not to step on the threshold, symbolizing overcoming various difficulties and challenges in life. 2. Then, when lighting incense, you should hold the incense with your left hand and light it with your right hand. You need to use your palm to extinguish the flame, and it is strictly forbidden to blow it out with your mouth. Afterward, bow in all directions and don't forget to return the courtesy. 3. When you start to kneel and worship, face Mazu, silently chant the name of Mazu in your heart, then state your own name, birthday, address, the current date, and address clearly, and then clearly state your wishes. Next, kneel down, first worship with both hands palm down, then turn to receive Mazu's blessing with palms up, and finally stand up with hands clasped. This process needs to be repeated three times. After completion, support yourself with your right hand and leave by turning to the right. Also, remember not to bring incense and offerings into the toilet, and maintain cleanliness and respect. ❤️ Finally, I wish everyone success in their endeavors and continuous good fortune ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Admission: Free🆓 Address: No. 666, Baishamen Shangcun, Haidian Street, Meilan District, Haikou City
