The green hill temple 青山岩

My previous visit to the temple is here

On the fifth day of Chinese New Year, the weather was cloudy. I bring my parent to The Green Hill Temple to pray. It is a temple that situated on top of a mountain; of course there is stairway for people to walk to the temple. My father told me that, during his time there where no road to the temple, they need to use a boat to reach to the temple. Today there are good tarmac road build for people from Kuching town all the way to the temple. And because of Chinese New Year, the place was crowded by people. Just we reach the temple, it starts to rain. All of a sudden, the temple was pack with people. My parent went to pray, while my brother and I went to take a couple of shots.

After my parent finish praying, we went to eat some vegetarian noodles that prepared by the temple. The noodle was nice, but I only manage to get a small portion of the noodle, cause there are too many people. The rain had stop after we finish our noodles, then I helped my mom and dad took a few shots, my dad was holding my mom’s hand…how sweet. I don’t usually see my dad do this in front of his kids, but I can tell the older my folks get, they love each other more. By the time we left the temple, again the rain start to pouring heavily. But there are still people keep on coming, all heading to the temple to pray. Dad was holding mom hand all the way to the car, aw~~I’m glad and happy to see that. 拜的神多,自有神保佑。


The temple, 青山岩


One of the pavilion in the middle of the mountain.


This is the place where we burn the “money” to wish for healthy and good luck.


I barely breath and open my eyes, as the joss stick smoke was everywhere.


A lot of people (善男信女) praying.


The doorknob


The orange candle, light this to wish for healthy for the whole family.


A joss tick-burner

This is the only temple in Kuching where I will go. I miss it. Hey, you know, last year my mum made a dangerous thing, she forgot to fill up the petrol. Turn up we have to by 2 litre of petrol with RM10 riggit from the local. LOL

This year, mum said she will be going to, the first thing I told her was "Remember to fill up your petrol." :P

I haven't been to Muara Tebas for a very long time... seeing your pics, I have an urge to go there again. Nice pics, and yeah it is rare to see parents holding hands nowadays. Its already a blessing that they are not tired of each other after seeing the same face for so many years! :P
