Wong Tai Sin (黄大仙)

After our breakfast at the Fu Gwai Restorant (富贵餐厅), we started our journey to visit the famous Wong Tai Sin (黄大仙). We took the MTR from Yao Ma Tei station to the Wong Tai Sin Station, see, so famous until it got it’s own station!!

When we got out of the station, we followed the direction to go to Wong Tai Sin. Then we saw this…

They are waiting the shop to open!! See, got policeman some more.. So few ppl only? Wait till you see the next photo!!

Seems like ppl are queuing to wait for the shop to open. What shop is that? Selling what? I’m not sure, all I know is that the shop is going to close down. By the way, HK shops open quite late, they only opened between 10:30am to 11am.

see the long queue? I never see such a long queue before!! The queue continues after the sky bridge!! crazy man!!

And here we are.. the famous Wong Tai Sin!!

Wong Tai Sin (黄大仙)

The main entrance

There were already a lot of people although it’s only 10am+. There are a lot of tourists and the weather was very hot. Beside the main entrance, there are shops selling joss sticks and joss papers. You can buy joss sticks with them but don’t buy the joss papers. Why? Because you are not allowed to burn these papers. So if you buy, you probably have to bring it home with you!!

I didn’t buy anything because I don’t think I can stand the the heat plus the smoke from the joss stick. I have a sincere heart, so no need lar. hehe.. Donation is better right? :p

A lot of ppl.. weather is very very very hot!!

We went in to ‘bai bai’ (拜拜) and decided to ‘kao qim’ (求签). I was about to give up after shaking the bamboo ‘qim’ for more that 5 minutes. Finally, a stick dropped out. They asked us to remember the number and told us we can get the ‘qim’ at the side of the temple. Alright then..

There are a lot of plants, waterfalls around but we just simply walk walk and look look. The weather is just so hot and walking under the hot sun is not really that comfortable. Finally we saw the place where we can get our ‘qim’. It’s a row of shops and you can get people to explain the ‘qim’ for you. Besides that, they can also do palm reading, face reading and etc.

FL picked a lady to explain the ‘qim’ for him. He got a not so good ‘qim’ and the lady can’t really speak Cantonese. I think she’s from china.. Anyway, i decided to pick another one, which is an old guy with long beard. I thought mine would explained clearer who knows.. I picked the one that had hearing problem. I need to shout to communicate with him. And this guy.. he doesn’t really wants to explain the ‘qim’ for me, why? You see, I’m actually asking for career (my friend told me ppl go wong tai sin to ask for marriage, how come i asked for career, hehe, how i know wor..) but he kept talking about marriage, ‘yan yun’ (姻缘).

I was so frusfrated and I told him I’m asking for CAREER and not MARRIAGE. Who knows he’s even more angry than me when he heard what i said and told me that i got a SUPER BAD ‘qim’ and nothing to be explained!! So so so so rude lar!!

How come he so interested in talking marriage, well, explain the ‘qim’ only can earn him HKD 20 but talking about marriage can earn him hundred of dollars leh.. Luckily i’m not stupid.. I peeped at his price list when he starts talking about marriage. hehe..

Anyway, I had an unpleasant morning there! Feels like being cheated, should have just take the ‘qim’ (HKD 2), instead of asking for explanation (HKD 20). We only spent about half an hour there, and we went to the shopping mall beside the temple to shop! I bought so many G2000 clothes there (almost HKD 1000), can you imagine, 50% and 70% discount for the whole shop!! Shopping really makes my mood better and I totally forgot what happened just now!!
