A lovely post about the Tianhou, or Mazu temple, Paul. I always get so nostalgic when I read your Tianjin posts. I was there, before it was jazzed up and digitalized. It's crazy how so many temples have digital blessings, digital fortune-telling, digital everything these days. The photos of the murals on white tiles are particularly gorgeous!!
Thanks Debbie, that must have been something to see! I’d be jealous, but I’ve nobody to point to but myself 😂. I walked past it a dozen times over the years. The temples really embrace technology in different ways and degrees. Each is so independent and unique, an angle I didn’t expect and enjoy about visiting. There should be a follow up to those murals, we should understand the stories. We had to run past. 🙏
