Visiting the temples~

January 20, 2008

Visited the temples in Kowloon city today - Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple which is the most popular temple in Hong Kong. According to legend, Wong Tai Sin is able to "make every wish come true upon request". Good thing I threw some coins into the pond! This temple is home to 3 different religions: Taoism, Buddhism and Confuciansim.






Yay I meet the requirements! Lol - it was from the MTR station on our way to the next temple.


Also located in Kowloon City - we visited the Hau Wong Temple...it was a lot smaller and not busy at all! Took some neat pictures~



Let me know if you want a miniature statue of a buddha before I leave!

Later on we went up to SOHO in Central which is a lively dining district. There are streets and streets of great food, coffee shops, lounges and funky bars. There's also a 800-metre long covered escalator that links to all the streets! CONVENIENT INDEED! After walking around the blocks a couple of times trying to choose our dining for the evening, we decided on a restaurant called Jasper. It was yummy - I had a Angus Beef burger which was about the size of my face...lol Ben had the banana leaf grilled snapper with lime-chili sauce, which he said was mediocre and Dan had the lamb chops which he said was superb.




My boyfriend on the ride back home from the MTR *teehee* he was a cutie~
