Wong Tai Sin Temple
Attraction Type:
Decorated in a riot of colors, Wong Tai Sin Temple is an excellent example of a traditional Chinese temple and features red pillars in Hong Kong, a gold roof adorned with blue friezes, yellow lattice work and carvings. Most people who visit the temple have their fortune told by a 'soothsayer'.
As the only temple of Taoist in Hong Kong, it has welcomed thousands of tourists for many years. This Taoist temple is not ancient. As a matter of fact, it was built in 1921 and named for Wong Chuping, a shepherd who began following Taoism at the age of 15. By the age of 55, it is said that he reached enlightenment and gained immortality. From that point on, he was referred to as Wong Tai Sin.
