Tip: Visit before 10 AM to avoid crowds and midday heat; wipe stroller wheels on entry.
Family Photo Stops:
Pose by the stone guardian lions and red steps leading to the main hall.
Tip: Use the steps for a clear backdrop; keep one hand on the stroller if you carry the baby.
Quick Incense Ritual:
Buy incense sticks at the entrance and place them in the front-hall burner.
Tip: Stand upwind of smoke; skip heavy incense days for baby comfort.
