It isn’t hard to get to this place via the MTR.

However our trip ended prematurely due to bad timing on the date. It appears that there is a big event that disallow the locals/tourists to go into the temple itself.

I might sound like I’m exaggerating, but the fact is, I think I’m glad I survived the trip, from all the cold winds. I guess I have to definitely think twice before visiting any other foreign country during these time around. On a plus side, we’re able to have Macau as part of our destination as well.
