The street toward the front of Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple is loaded up with devotees, all anxious to enter the sanctuary corridor and offer their incense to Kuan Yin, trying to give their year an auspicious start. Joss sticks and flowers are among the most famous things offered to the Goddess by the pilgrims. In the wake of visiting the sanctuary, devotees frequently gather sweets and flowers at the entryway, which are considered to be blessings. Chinese Fortune Sticks is a type of fortune-telling practice in Buddhist culture. In the sanctuary, you will discover a lot of wooden sticks in a barrel shaped bamboo holder. Each stick has an assigned number that corresponds to numbered pieces of paper posted on a close by board. Each piece of the paper relates a fortune for what's to come. Devotees shake a chamber holding the fortune sticks, until one stick emerges.
