"... we visited the Joss House and other places of interest ..."

The main street has a fine avenue of tropic shade trees. The two-story hotels are striking features of the town, whilst a small joss house, at the north entrance of the town, gives quite an oriental effect, and serves as a reminder of the glories of the old Chinese days. There is something shabby about the joss house these days, and the local worshippers of Budha are few and poor.
