Wong Tai Sin is a famous temple here in Hong Kong on the Kowloon side. It is a Taoist temple that many people visit with the highlight often being getting ones fortune told. It is a busy temple and full of people giving offerings, lighting incense, and making wishes and prayers. Enjoy the pictures!

Thank you Patty! :) I'm so happy to share a bit of my life with you. I am with you and I love to travel as well. There are simply too many places to go though, so I'm really enjoying seeing everyone's world through blogs....makes it almost okay that I can't always make it to the different places. In actuality, it just makes my list longer of places I want to see. HA! xo
DeleteWhat a lovely temple. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment and for stopping by! :)
DeleteYou got some great shots here. I've been meaning to visit, but in all my 15+ years here, I've never been to Wong Tai Sin temple.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) You know, I totally understand. When you are in your own space, it is easy not to go outside of your neighborhood and play tourist. Even I have gotten lazy about seeing more of Hong Kong and I've only been here for 2 and half years. I'll motivate you if you motivate me! :D HA!
Deletemarvelous photos. it's wonderful that people are still going to temples.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) Yes...people still go and they go a fair bit, especially around different holidays.
DeleteLove the new vs old. It holds a story all on it's own!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It is pretty remarkable seeing something so old in the midst of all the modern sky rises. Glad you caught on that detail! :D
DeleteOh I wanted to see that! But we ran out of time (and energy). Next time though! I'd love to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThankfully there is always a next time! :) It is pretty cool and the nunnery is also really pretty. There are just too many places to go and to many things to see.
DeleteI like the gate (the entrance) to the temple. Beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
