The most imposing sight on the island, this ornate dragon-infested temple dates back to the days when Chinese traders anchored in the sheltered waters. During New Year in February, the island is packed with Chinese tourists. There are shrine caves, multiple platforms and a good view of the island and sea. It's just north of the main town.
