Somehow this blog escaped publication so it will be done now… One of the final temples we visited in Hong Kong was a Taoist one. Built inside a living area (or better the living area around it…) it reflects very much a bygone area where the settlements were „down“ and the hills just mountainsides

So you have the old trees

and dragons

the high-priest doubling as a tradesman and fortune-teller

all kind of devotional materials are for sale

busy interpreting the charts (stars, stocks, raw materials? who knows)

He looked much more sobre and was very nice

He even stopped to allow me to take pictures

I assume he enjoyed it thoroughly – which might have to do with the fact that we listened 10 min for his explanation about the mother monastry, etc.

Beautifully made

Devotional as usual

Fierce as Toasim can be

You do need food in afterlife

I would guess the oldes part of the temple

So strange atmosphere with all the skyscrapers around
