Just back from Hong Kong (with a b-a-d cold), and instead of writing up a travelogue as usual, decided to show some pictures I took at and around 4 different temples.

The red and yellow spiral incense hangs from the ceiling at Hua Tin Temple in Kowloon. It was built by a family who found a statue of the Goddess of the Ocean. Parts of the building are over 100 yrs. old. The red incense costs $140 HK dollars (ca. $18) because red is the more auspicious color, while the yellow incense costs $130 HK dollars.

Men play mahjong or eat in the temple patio, and, believe it or not, it is quite a busy place.

The photo is large.
