Open a page, walk into a Mazu temple
Tianyun Temple is a Mazu temple built inside a web page. No travel, no opening hours: you arrive in the courtyard, walk into the main hall, and find incense burners, moon blocks and a fortune-slip cylinder in front of the Mazu statue. The Tai Sui hall is off to the right; the furnace sits beside it.
You are not alone in there. Visitors who are online at the same moment appear as characters in the same hall; the lamps in front of Mazu light up one by one; and the temple now and then releases sky lanterns, sets off fireworks and scatters red envelopes.
Enter the temple — free, no signup →The worshippers you pass are people connected right now, not a recording. Someone may be casting the blocks while you offer incense.
Incense, blocks, slips, lamps and Antaisui cost nothing. Temple coins come from worshipping and the night-market games.
It's a PWA: iPhone and Android open it straight from the browser. Add it to the home screen and it behaves like an app.
