Check-in at Wong Tai Sin Temple, a must-visit attraction in Hong Kong.

Wong Tai Sin Temple, originally named Sik Sik Yuen, was built in 1921 and is one of the famous landmarks in Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is one of the most renowned temples, known for its popularity and bustling incense offerings. Every Lunar New Year's Day, locals compete to be the first to offer incense. After decades of meticulous management, the entire temple is resplendent and magnificent, covering an area of over 18,000 square meters. It is famous both locally and internationally, making it a must-visit spot for tourists in Hong Kong. According to legend, Wong Tai Sin, also known as Chisongzi, is widely known for his medical skills and benevolence. It is said that the deity worshipped in the temple is very responsive to prayers. The temple's layout is designed based on the principles of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, as determined by a divination in front of Wong Tai Sin Hall in 1937: the Feiluan Pavilion (Bronze Pavilion) represents metal, the Scripture Hall represents wood, the Jade Liquid Pool represents water, the Incense Pavilion represents fire, and the Screen Wall represents earth. Visitors typically start their worship at the main hall of Wong Tai Sin Temple, where they also draw lots and seek divination. If you're traveling to Hong Kong, don't forget to visit Wong Tai Sin Temple! Detailed address: 2 Chuk Yuen Road, Chuk Yuen, Hong Kong (You can take the MTR, it's very close to Wong Tai Sin Station).
