The temple has always been a tourist attraction for locals and tourists, who come to worship and pray for blessings for the new year on Chinese New Year's Eve and Day. Five thousand entry tickets sold out quickly this year. The worship approached its climax at midnight, when the temple bell rang 108 times to proclaim the arrival of the new year. [Photo: cnsphoto]
