Sik Sik Yuen’s Wong Tai Sin Temple

First of all, I like the location. I like the fact that when you walk out of the MTR and its there. As a tourist and someone who doesn’t know their way around Hong Kong, this temple being in a central and easily to get to location really help.
This place is busy. I mean super busy. My mom used to go to Wong Tai Sin when she was a kid. She said Wong Tai Sin is very spiritual and is very «lang» which to what I translate it to be is being correct and truthful, whatever you ask, it will come true if Wong Tai Sin promise.
I went and shaked the stick cups and of course what I ask and the answer I got was tailored to the question. My mom was very right it was very «Lang».
As a tourist walking around this temple, I have to say its a great architecture. Its very big. But big is not the main point why its busy here. It is busy here because its very spiritual and the god or Buddhist does reside in here. At the back there is a garden that you can sit and just relax.
I highly recommend visiting this place. You will not be disappointed.

I like this temple because of the architecture of the place. It’s pretty darn big in my opinion, and the colors really makes it stand out. If I could, I would gladly sit around at this temple and admire everything. It’s quite soothing.
However, many people come to visit this temple. And when I mean many, I mean thousands flock here due to the history and the supposed ability to «grant your wish upon request.» It’s one of the most popular temples in Hong Kong.
There are several things to see here such as big zodiac animal statues, a garden, nine-​dragon wall, etc. People come here to pray for a number of things such as their ancestors, love, wealth, or even get their fortunes told with kau cim.
Whether you believe in these things or not, it’s always nice to visit and explore the place.
Be careful of the incense sticks. Many people light a bunch of them, and ashes and smoke may be a nuisance. Watch for your stuff when you’re near one to make sure none of your possessions are accidentally burned.

Even if you are not here to worship, I think the temple is a beautiful building that should be appreciated. It’s very convenient, right next to the MTR station. It gets very crowded at times, especially during weekends or major holidays.

Beautiful temple right next to an MTR stop. There are some really nice sculptures and gardens. I like the nine dragon wall, and there’s a pretty nice waterfall pool as well. The place gets really crowded, but if you go off away from the main areas it’s not so bad. There are a lot of people burning incense sticks, and some parts of the temple were so thick with smoke I had to avoid them.
