LING SEN TONG PROBABLY PICKS UP A LOT OF TOURIST VISITORS WHO ARE HEADING TO THOSE MORE FAMOUS CAVE TEMPLES. THIS TEMPLE IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM ITS NEIGHBOURS. THE GARDEN IN FRONT IS DECORATED WITH COLOURFUL STATUES OF CHARACTERS FROM CHINESE MYTHOLOGY SUCH AS THE MONKEY KING FROM THE CLASSIC TALE JOURNEY TO THE WEST. THE ALMOST CARTOON-LIKE CARICATURES OF DRAGONS, THE GODDESS KUAN YIN AND OTHER FIGURES GIVE THE TEMPLE A CHILDREN'S THEME PARK ATMOSPHERE AND I AM SURE THIS PLACE MUST BE A HIT WITH KIDS.
