Heavenly Queen Temple, Footscray for Treasure Tuesday

 






The Heavenly Queen Temple suffered damage during the flood two years prior. When we visited, the majority of the structures were still under construction. Situated on the bend of the Yarra River, just near the border of Melbourne City, the temple remains secluded from the surrounding urban environment.

Joel, desiring to sample the Pho in Footscray, selected this destination for us to explore with our prime lenses.

  1. This temple has a similar look to it as the Forbidden City in Beijing, but the buildings are newer. If the roof construction is also similar, they are earthquake proof. Joel picked a good destination.

    1. It is not as sophisticated as the forbidden city. I picked the destination though.

  3. I thought it looks shiny and new. That may be because of the reconstruction. Quite original architecture!

  8. The photo at the corner of the building, looking down both sides, is quite mysterious.

  15. No hubiera sido capaz de situar ese templo en Australia y espero no lo construyeran de nuevo en el lugar de la inundación.

    Saludos.
