Chinese Temple--Personally, the chinese temple was nothing new to me as I visit temples like these myself. When I tread through the halls, having the pungent smell of smoke all around me, it reminded me of home. On the other hand, this temple has lost a lot of its spirituality, and therefore appeals more to tourists. My case in point-- the fortune readings.
One strong detail that I found that varied from the other places we visited was the fact that most of the building was red. The Mosque in particular was very plain and mostly consisted of white, wheres the Hindu temple was alive with colour. The main purpose of the temple is not for Buddhist prayer, but more for ancestry respect and giving.
Hindu Temple--All in all, I found the Hindu temple most interesting as it is a foreign place for me. The immaculate amount of colours that surrounded the place made me feel welcomed though I was a stranger. The people in prayer tolerated us though only one of us were actually Hindu. The detail that was on the ceiling and shrines were breathtaking. Most of the patterns and designes were symmetrical, but it was not similar to the Islamic designes. From what I saw, the Hindu's gathered in prayer seemed to be performing some sort of daily ritual to give thanks to their gods.
