Cool looking temple, it is interesting how although guanyu is a character in history he is praised and worshipped as a god of sorts for wealth and prosperity.

Guan Di, apart from being a 'martial god' , is worshipped for being righteous. He's the god you want to pray to when you need the world to be doing the right thing. :)

oh my goodness we certainly do! Guan Di temples are always very localised, very "un-consumerist" (as you noted), and just lowkey, full of believers.
