The Culture Bit - Part 2
After another strategic exit from the bars of Wanchai before the sun came up I set off reasonably early this morning on another cultural trail. First stop was the small Tin Hua Temple which is just the other side of Victoria Park from the hotel. Then a combination of three MTR journeys took me to Wong Tai Sin in Kowloon and the wonderful Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple. This is a whole temple complex covering about 18,000 square metres and, like many temples in this region, celebrates three religions, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Exactly what the latter would have to say about the souvenir stalls and fortune tellers outside the temple I don't know. "Man who build Temple must sell cheap keyring to Pilgrims" maybe. Anyway here are some photos, the first two are of Tin Hua and the rest from Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin.
