Wong Tai Sin Temple

Wong Tai Sin (Great Immortal Wong) is the city's principal Taoist temple, attracting millions yearly. The hook: kau cim — you kneel, shake a bamboo cylinder of numbered sticks until one falls out, take the number to a fortune-teller stall outside (HK$50-150) for interpretation. Locals swear by the 100% wish-fulfillment reputation. Free temple entry, paid fortune. The complex includes Three Saints Hall, Confucius Hall, and a classical Chinese garden (HK$2 — basically free). Best non-holiday weekday morning 8-11 AM when chanting + incense ritual is active. Easy MTR access — direct from Wong Tai Sin Station (Kwun Tong Line). Combine with Chi Lin Nunnery (15 min walk, Tang-dynasty wood-architecture temple, also free).
