Wong Tai Sin Temple

One of the newest and most interesting temples in Hong Kong is the Wong Tai Sin Temple. Located in Kowloon, the original temple was a private structure built-in 1920. In 1968, t was later replaced with a newer building and today's tourists may see it.

The Taoist god Wong Tai Sin, who is worshipped by the villagers as a bringer of luck in horse racing and a healer of illnesses, was the focus of the temple's construction. Each fall, a celebration honoring Wong Tai Sin is held at the temple. The Hall of Three Saints, the Good Wish Garden, and another hall dedicated to Confucius and his 72 disciples are some of the structures that make up the temple complex. In the spacious hall, you may expect to see fortune-tellers as well as joss sticks and other offerings that visitors can take.
