More pictures taken from Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong. I guess I will just let the pictures do the talking for this post. Hope the post will not take too long to load!
Love the beautiful carvings on the totem pole.

The incense made the air a little smoky at this area.

One of the most interesting stuffs I saw at the Wong Tai Sin Temple are these sculptures!

There were many of these sculptures, but I just took a few pictures of them.

I snapped a picture of the temple roof from this angle. The high rise buildings in the background seems to make the temple stand out.

Passed by a few smaller buildings in the temple compound, like this one.

This is called Peepul Tree. Looks rather strange no?

The roof of the temple with those sculptures reminded me of similar sculptures I saw at the temples in China.

My friend and I spent about one hour at this temple. It was definitely a worthwhile visit for me. Where do you think we headed next? Find out in my next post coming right up! : )
