Hong Kong Wong Tai Sin temple visit

Posted on Thursday, August 21, 2008 at 2:55 am


The second place the tour guide brought us to was Wong Tai Sin temple. I am sure this is a tourist attraction because there were many tourists just like us. Before we arrived here, we actually drove past the Kowloon park, with the guide explaining the history how Kowloon (it means nine dragons in chinese) came about, and the Old Hong Kong International Airport.
 
If you stood at the Kowloon walled city park and look around you, you’ll see eight hills that stradegically forms a buildup area around the park, and the ninth dragon, was the king himself. (You probably should google more if you are interested.)
 
For a few moments I was disappointed after see the Old Hong Kong International Airport with just an empty piece of land. I was looking forward because I used to see Hong Kong films with planes flying across rooftops very closely to the housing areas and CBD. Now this is all history.
 
This Buy Ampicillin Online without prescription is one of the pictures I took outside the temple. I didn’t really went in, because there were alot of burning incense with a thick smoke. Furthermore it was about to rain. So I remained outside.
 
Lets look at some of the interesting pictures here.

 
This is Wong Tai Sin’s temple. I suppose it is a taoist temple. To reach here, you can take the MTR to Wong Tai Sin station, which is quite convinient.
