About
Active Daoist-Buddhist-Confucian temple in Kowloon, famous for fortune-telling and the lunar-new-year incense offering.
Wong Tai Sin Temple (1921) is dedicated to a 4th-century Daoist healer who, according to legend, taught the secret of immortality. The temple combines Daoist, Buddhist and Confucian elements — common in Hong Kong popular religion — and is most famous for the fortune-telling stalls in the Yue Heung Shrine arcade just outside. The lunar new year first-incense ceremony draws huge crowds.
