Legendary Temple in Hong Kong#hongkongtrip Been waiting to visit this legendary Temple even seem I have watch TVB drama as it keen mentions this temple on different series. Finally now I have a chance to visit it . I Visited on Monday morning and it was quiet with few people. If you decided to buy incense sticks for praying, there are few elderly near MTR entrance selling those. Just politely say no if you do not wish to buy and they do not pursue. There are also few shops prior to the temple entrance. Like the atmosphere there. Love the architecture of the buildings and understand some structure has been almost 100 years There is a little garden, Good Wish Garden here and it was totally empty that morning. Was really nice to take a stroll at the garden. It is easy access from Wong Tai Sin MTR and signage are clear. Definitely worth a visitMaxBurger13

🇭🇰 Touching the lion statuesThese lion statues are popular at Wong Tai Sin temple. Many worshippers will surround them and touch them for good luck blessings. They are the chinese guardian lions and they protect the temple by guarding the main entrance. They also look like dogs and in some other temples, they have foxes instead of this lion-dog hybrid. They always come in a pair, one female and one male. The female lion statue can be identified with her cub and the male lion statue can be identified with a ball at his feet. *photos are taken before pandemic and HK is not open for travelling yet but I will be there soon :) #hkinsider #liveyourdreams #takethattripBerrysurprise14
