Leng Chu Kiang Shrine, Chinese temple in Anoru, Thailand
Leng Chu Kiang Shrine is a Chinese temple in Anoru, Thailand, housing traditional statues of deities including Tubtim and Guan Yin. The complex contains multiple altars and religious artworks arranged to accommodate worship and community gatherings throughout the year.
The shrine was relocated to its present location in 1879 by Luang Cheen Kananurak, who added the statue of Lim Ko Niao during this move. This relocation transformed the site from its original dedication to Zhou Shi Gong into a new spiritual focus for the community.
The shrine is honored by the Chinese community through daily offerings and religious observances that reflect their spiritual beliefs. Visitors can witness how locals present fruit and incense as acts of devotion to the deities housed within.
The shrine is open to visitors year-round to observe ceremonies and the worship practices of the community. You can walk freely through the complex, though it is respectful to avoid interrupting active religious rituals or gatherings.
Each year on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the shrine hosts a festival where a red wooden palanquin carrying a deity statue is processed through the streets. Participants who have followed certain spiritual practices then perform fire walking as a demonstration of their faith.
