Wong Tai Sin Temple
Decorated in a riot of colours, Wong Tai Sin is an excellent example of a traditional Chinese temple and features red pillars, a golden roof adorned with blue friezes, yellow latticework and multi-coloured carvings. A traditionally carved granite archway separates the temple's two terraces, while the main hall is surrounded by doors and windows. Worshippers gather in the front courtyard. Other temples on the grounds are dedicated to Buddha and Confucius.

Legend has it that Wong Tai Sin was a shepherd boy living in a part of China's Zhejiang Province called Red Pine Hill. When he was only 15, an immortal taught him the art of refining cinnabar into a medicine that was said to cure all illnesses. He spent the next 40 years living in seclusion until he was found by his brother, who had spent all those years searching for him and the sheep in his care.

Wong Tai Sin was also said to have changed white boulders into sheep to replace those he had lost. This feat is represented in the temple by two large gilded carvings of sheep. Today, Wong Tai Sin is not only worshipped by those with health concerns, but also by those with business problems, who come to seek his advice.

The present Wong Tai Sin Temple was opened in 1956, but the painting of Wong Tai Sin, housed in the main temple, was originally brought to Hong Kong from Guangdong in 1915. It was officially moved to this temple site in 1921.

Most people who visit the temple want their fortune told. This is done with the aid of a bamboo container holding numbered sticks. The worshipper lights joss sticks and kneels before the main altar, then makes a wish and shakes the container until a stick falls out. This stick is exchanged for a piece of paper bearing the same number. The fortune on the paper is then interpreted by a soothsayer.
