What To Do In Ling Sen Tong
In Ling Sen Tong, you are allowed to burn incense so it is a proper worship to deities. You will see the inner of the cave ceiling has been stained black by the smoke of uncountable incense.
You can visit the “Wishing Pond” in Ling Sen Tong just to make your wish by tossing your lucky coins. If you still remain single like me, you wouldn’t want to miss crossing the “Marriage Bridge”. No harm trying since it does not cost any penny crossing the bridge.
You can take many pictures or selfies with those colourful deities statues, animal statues, colourful architecture in the temple.
