Some note when going to Mrs Chau Doc temple When going to Mrs Chau Doc's temple, especially at the beginning of the year is often very crowded.

Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the following: Avoid losing money.

When going to the pagoda, Mrs Chau Doc is often very bustling, so there are some bad persons, who are very picky, pretend to be begging, and robbing.

Therefore, you always have to hold your wallet tightly, if you wear a backpack, you should wear it in front of your chest to avoid losing things and losing money.

When buying anything you need to ask for a price and bargain first, otherwise, you can be hacked at a very high price.

Especially the closer to the Chau Doc pagoda, the price skyrocketed, from food and drink to possesty incense.

Do not receive heavenly fortune Loc heaven is lucky when someone gives you a small bag containing worshipping money or a special folded note or anything that should be returned.

If you receive the gift of heaven, that person will follow you for a payment of your payment.

Although they say arbitrary payment ceremony if you give too little they will be scolded vulgar words.

Therefore, if you want to receive Ba Chua Xu's fortune, go inside her temple, where there is room for you to make offerings and receive gifts.

Do not use release services Around Chau Doc pagoda, there is a service of releasing birds, the birds here are often locked up, difficult to fly far and often captured again after release.

Secondly, when asking about the price, it is usually very cheap, but after you agree to release them, they open the cage and drive very quickly, causing the birds to fly out of chaos, then they calculate the number of birds up to hundreds of birds and make you pay.

Therefore, you can lose a large amount of money not worth losing.

To serve the needs of pilgrims, there are many services around the temple such as selling offerings, renting roasted pigs, releasing free-birds, watching hexagrams at the beginning of the year.

In order not to be “broke” when coming to Ba Chua Xu temple, you should note the following.

Ask the price carefully before buying There are stops along the way, you can buy flowers, the fruit here, or buy at points near the ferry.

The price of these places will be cheaper than in the temple.

If you do not buy on the way, you should go to the big shops around the temple and ask the price carefully before buying.

Incense should not be bought from retailers who follow the offer as it is more expensive.

After buying, you still have to “endure” the people who follow to buy lottery tickets, ask for money, send money .
