Quanzhou｜I asked Lord Guan if there is still hope in my life, and he said

Great potential! (Last picture, top fortune) The Guan Di Temple is truly the most popular temple in Quanzhou, always bustling with people burning incense and praying. Its roof probably has the most dragons as well. The cut porcelain carvings with strong Minnan characteristics are stunning. On a good day, if you go around 4 PM, the sunset shines golden on the roof (pictures 3, 4, 5). It’s also super beautiful when lit up at night. Many people come to Guan Di Temple to draw lots, and everyone says the lots here are very accurate. Quanzhou locals say: When in doubt, just ask Lord Guan. I usually don’t draw lots because I’m afraid of getting bad ones and increasing my anxiety. Even if I get a good one, I still need to work hard myself. But this time, for some reason, standing at the temple entrance and seeing the thriving incense, I suddenly wanted to draw a lot. Unexpectedly, I got the best fortune, and the first throw was the sacred cup. It really encouraged me. If Lord Guan thinks I can do it, then I definitely can!! ————————— Guan Di Temple’s lot-drawing process: Outside the gate, please take three incense sticks (the temple provides them for free), or you can scan a code to add a donation. Enter the temple, take a cup, kneel and clearly state your full home address, name, and what you are asking for, then bow three times and throw the cup. If one side is up and one side is down, you can draw a lot. Remember your lot number after drawing, then throw the cup again. If it’s the sacred cup, you’re done; if not, draw again. Go to the lot interpretation area nearby to get your lot text, scan 2 yuan (I heard you can take good lots with you but not the bad ones). ———————— 📍Address: No. 188 Tumen Street, Licheng District, Quanzhou City ⏰Opening Hours: About 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM (may extend on holidays) 💰Admission: Free, incense donations are voluntary. 🚗Transportation: Accessible by many city buses or take a taxi to the “Guan Di Temple” stop.
