The quiet location of Wenwu Temple in downtown Shanghuan City is in sharp contrast with the busy commercial area around it. The history of the establishment of the Wenwu Temple can be traced back to the early days of Hong Kong's opening. It is one of the oldest temples in Hong Kong and is also well-known at home and abroad. Although it has been built many times, it remains the same as before. The temple's copper bells, big tripod, Yungyu, Pewter incense burner and elaborate statue wooden pedestals are all ancient and ancient.

Walking into the temple, looking up is one after another long-burning large-scale tower incense, the ceiling is covered, the tower incense smoking white smoke, spectacular. The main hall is dedicated to Emperor Wenchang and Emperor Guan.

For more than a hundred years, pilgrims from afar and good men and women from admiration come here to worship and make wishes.

What matters is that they were here full of piety and happiness. Destiny is like the palm print in your hand. No matter how tortuous it is, it will eventually be in your hands. You are right.
