Most Hong Kong people follow Buddhism, Taoism or Confucianism –
or a combination of the three. Hong Kong has more than 600 Chinese temples and Buddhist and Taoist deities are often honoured together in the same temple. Devotees flock to the Buddhist Che Gong Temple at Sha Tin (above) and the Tian Tin Buddha
at Po Lin ('Precious Lotus') Monastery on Lantau Island (far left). Incense fills the air at Fat Tong Kok on the Clear Water Bay Peninsula, (left) the site of Hong Kong's most famous Tin Hau temple which thousands of people visit on the 23rd day of the third moon to worship Tin Hau, the Queen of Heaven and Protector of Seafarers.
