The banyan trees are a favorite with local villagers who come to burn joss sticks and incense papers hoping their wishes will come true. During Chinese New Year, many Hong Kong people come to make their wishes by tying wish-making papers onto the wooden racks beside the trees.
The nearby Tin Hua Temple was built around the time of Emperor Qian Long of the Qing dynasty (1736-1796). The temple’s main hall is dedicated to Tin Hua, the Goddess of the Sea. Many worshipers pray for good fortune by offering incense to the gods, so do our family.
This place is located at New Territories. To get there, take Bus 64K from MTR Tai Po Market Station and get off at Fong Ma Po Stop.
