Local tip
The temple is a place of worship, so keep your voice low and respect the space. Dress modestly if you are going inside the main halls.
Check before you go
- Check the light rail schedule if you are arriving from Hong Kong Island or Kowloon, as the last trains may be early.
- Verify dinner spot opening hours, as some local restaurants may close earlier than in the city center.
