I don't know much about buddhism, but I like that kind of buildings and all this stuff with the fortune-telling cards. The temples are much more interesting than our churches (might be the other way round for buddhists).
When I was in Hongkong, I also visited Lantau which after a week in a dirty, hot, dusty city full of people with foreign demeanor was like another world. People live in very poor circumstances there, the public transportation is a real adventure, and the free- running cows (may Buddha save them from BSE) quite often a reason for the delays of the busses.
But then it was so beautiful. A green island and in the inner the biggest sitting Buddha statue of the world. Actually very impressive...
