  • Firstly, you have to enter the temple from its right side door, and exit from its left side door. According to the geomancers, the right side belongs to the lucky animal “dragon”, and the left side belongs to the fierce “tiger”. It sounds like a man going into the tiger's mouth if you go into the temple from the left side door. Secondly, never enter or exit the temple from the middle door. The middle door is only for gods. Thirdly, it is allowed to take pictures inside the temple. Be careful not to disturb other worshippers. The last but not the least, you don't need to buy a ticket for entering almost every temple.
