Trip: Hong Kong (3) - Wong Tai Sin Temple

We visited the Wong Tai Sin Temple (黃大仙祠), one of the most famous shrines in HK, famed for the many prayers answered. To get there, we took the MTR to Wong Tai Sin station. Once out of the MTR, you need not worry about which direction to go as the smell of burnt incense will lead you to the temple. :)

These shops, located outside the temple, sell incense sticks/papers & everything that devotees need for praying.

Behind the temple, there is a garden.

Have you seen a loquat (枇杷) tree before? I've only eaten the fruits before and this is the first time I see the actual tree.
