The temple complex was built in 1921 and is the most famous in Hong Kong. It's dedicated to Chinese traditions of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. The temple itself is spectacularly beautiful and there are gardens, ponds and quiet areas around the complex. It is famous for stalls selling all sorts of offerings and the booths where fortune tellers do a very brisk business because their fortune telling is famous worldwide for it's accuracy.
