According to Shin Min Daily News, Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple will begin to open up to the public on Sundays and public holidays from 1 May.

The temple’s opening hours on Sundays will follow that from Mondays to Saturdays — 7am to 6.30pm.

It added that the afternoon queue will close at 12.15 pm and reopen at 1 pm. During this short downtime, the temple will undergo cleaning.

Temple not receiving offerings for the time being

Along with the announcement, the temple also clarified that it will not be accepting offerings including flowers and fruits.

The new opening hours mark the first time since the temple last opened on Sundays and Public Holidays since Jul 2021.
