What to do and see in Kowloon, China: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites

May 22, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple

Hong Kong’s most famous Taoist temple exemplifies the architecture of a traditional Chinese temple, and is a popular place of worship for those with health or business problems or for those seeking to have their fortunes told.

Of all the temples in Hong Kong the "Sik Sik Yuen Waong Tai Sin Temple" has to be one of the most memorable. There is always plenty to experience here and it certainly has character, charm and ambiance. As well as the gorgeous temple the Good Wish Garden is also beautiful, and with its ponds and flora is a great place to relax and rest a while after the excitement of the worship in full swing in the temple itself. I highly recommend a visit to this stunning temple and garden.

Tin Hau Temple

Reviewed By TheOExpress - Hong Kong, China

...of this type of temple in HK, of which are legion. The architecture, decor and atmosphere of the temples were exactly as desired/ expected plus the pleasant, well-used gardens on either side are worth spending time as well. It is really well maintained and the last space on the right as you look at it has even been made into a nice little bookshop that sells some food. Given that it’s run for the benefit of those in poverty in the city too, I suggest you visit and donate what you can!
