WONG TAI SIN TEMPLE
Page added: 2022-02-24
This temple is dedicated to Wong Tai Sin - one of the fathers of Chinese medicine - or maybe he is THE father?
Wong Tai Sin used his life dedicated to collect herbs in nature, - and tried out what kind of diseases they were active against - -
His great work is therefore is honered by building a temple to his memory - - -
Besides Wong Tai Sin - you can also worship Kung Fu-tse - and Buddha too - in thw Wong Tai Sin temple - - -
Furthermore - there is a long curved archway with fortune tellers, so if you need to know the outcome of some problem, - this is the place to go - - -
