Architecturally, Thean Hou Temple is a striking blend of traditional Chinese design and modern construction techniques. Its multi-tiered, pagoda-style roofs are adorned with intricate carvings of dragons and phoenixes, while the main prayer hall houses statues of the deities set against elaborately decorated altars. Red lanterns, particularly abundant during Chinese New Year, drape the temple grounds and create a festive, luminous atmosphere. All photos created with the Nikon Z6 and either the 14-30mm f/4 or 24-70mm f/4 lens. Processed using Photoshop CC and Nik Collection’s Color or Silver Efex Pro.
