The entrance of the Wong Tai Sin Temple.
The main altar
Tourists from all over the world visit the Temple everyday.
Under the paw, there is either a ball or a baby animal.
Besides metallic ones, there is also stone sculpture.
All constructions are in the form of traditional Chinese architecture.
Joss sticks and candles burn exuberantly all year round, especially during Chinese New Year and the birthday of Wong Tai Sin (the 23rd day of the eighth lunar month).
Each piece of constructions is in fact a masterpiece.
Worshippers are practicing kau cim at Wong Tai Sin Temple, they kneel and pray before the main altar, make a wish, and shake a bamboo cylinder containing fortune sticks until one falls out.
With his mercy and power, Wong Tai Sin is said to grant whatever is requested.
These fortune-telling stalls are located at the main entrance of the temple. Fortunes are told in either English, Putonghua or Cantonese.
The
stick is exchanged for a piece of red paper bearing the same number,
and the soothsayer then interprets the fortune on the paper for the
worshipper.
A garden with ponds at the back of the temple.
Lotus fountain.
Opening hours of the temple are from 07:00 to 17:30 throughout the year, and it runs overnight in the Lunar New Year Eve. The closest MTR station is Wong Tai Sin Station.
