This picture was taken just outside Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple. The temple itself is situated in the heart of urban Kowloon and is well worth a visit! It covers some 18,000 square metres and is located in a tranquil natural setting remote from the nearby housing estates. The gardens are a joy to visit (pictures coming soon). Turtles play happily in the waters that frequent this area. The temple is an important religious centre and preaches three traditional religions - Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Use of incense in religion is prevalent in many cultures and prior to entering the temple many people burn incense sticks as a mark of respect or perhaps as an offering to a deity.
