An unusual type of oracle is found in the temple of Wong Tai Sin ("the great immortal Huang") in Kowloon, Hong Kong. This temple attracts great crowds of worshippers but especially devotees concerned with some aspects of their future. The open temple courtyard is often filled to capacity with people shaking small bamboo tubes of oracle slips, available for rent. In the neighbourhood of the temple is a covered hangar, crammed with small stands of diviners. An extremely picturesque scene!
