Shrine of Grandfather and Grandmother, Udon Thani

Chao Pu-Ya Shrine, a sacred place that Chinese people in Udon have long revered, is a center for the conservation of arts, culture, ancestral ways and the philosophy of Thai-Chinese brothers and sisters amidst beautiful architecture and atmosphere, worth a visit. In addition to worshiping with 30 incense sticks, there is also a belief that you must offer 4 oranges. When you have worshipped at all 6 points: 1. Tee Kong, 2. Pun Tao Kong Ma, 3. Nong Bua Shrine, 4. Tee Chu Eia, 5. Phra Sangkachai, 6. Chang Nguan Suai, then walk to the Kao Liap Bridge, which is believed to be the point of connection to heaven and the point where the gods will know what you have prayed for. When you are done, you should come to say goodbye to the Chao Pu-Ya Shrine and bring back 2 oranges. Near the Chao Pu-Ya Shrine is the Thai-Chinese Cultural Center. The outside area is divided into “Morality Garden of a Thousand Years, 24 Gratitudes” amidst auspicious trees such as dragon beard trees, willow trees, black bamboo trees, Chinese firecrackers, swans, etc., including the emperor koi pond. The lotus pond is decorated with high relief sculptures telling the story of the legendary 24 great filial pieties of China, with Thai and Chinese narrations. Inside the Morality Museum, exhibits the story of Chinese-Thai people who settled in Udon Thani Province 120 years ago through a 3D film about the origins of the power of faith in the deities of the grandfathers and grandmothers, the story of past business and trade, the gathering of 9 organizations, 11 surnames, etc. It is interesting and worth a visit if you have time. #ReviewUdonThani #UdonThani #ShrineofGrandfathersAndGrandmothers
