If you're visiting Wan Chai, a visit to Pak Tai Temple is a must. One of the quieter and less…read moretouristy temples, it's a nice way to be introduced to local customs and retreat from the busy streets outside. I was lucky enough to be taken here by a local, but the impression I got was that everyone was welcome here provided they take their best manners. A few interesting and important things to note: - Entry is free. - Don't step on door thresholds but rather step over them. - The statues you see around the temple represent different gods. Locals will pray to the one that can help them on a particular visit. - The main god here is The Northern Emperor (Pak Tai). - The room on the right hand side houses large incense coils that burn for days. They're quite impressive.

I am not Catholic, but when we walked by the very popular St. John's Episcopalian church down the…read morehill from the Peak Tram, we asked where there might be a Catholic Church. My friend who was visiting from the US is Catholic and likes to visit a church or two in the different cities of the world she travels to. The lady in the gift shop at St. Joseph's said that the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was one of the most beautiful churches in all of Hong Kong. Although tucked behind other buildings and some construction, so not visable from street level of Caine Street itself at all, when we found the walk way to the church, simply magnificent! Being a secular humanist at best, I cannot speak to any custom, traditions or history of this space or the Catholic church, but it really is a lovely church. Based on what I read, it is about 120 years old. It is really large. We also discovered that they do not have gift shop on sight and when we inquired, they referred us to the Grand Building, 3/F on Connaught Road for the gift shop (we did not go there, but in their limited English, this is what the nice staff wrote down and told us).

Not to be outdone by the lack of options, Rosary Church is the spot for Catholics looking to attend masses throughout the week. It may be among the handful of churches in Kowloon, but is the only one in TST. Like many churches, it is a lot bigger than it looks and like most things Hong Kong, it's often way more crowded than it can accommodate. On Sundays, Rosary can pack as much as 300 people, even though the aisles and pews are super tight as it is. Visitors may find the place to be a tad claustrophobic, but this is just the way things are in this part of the world. It is highly recommend to come here early, as the masses are punctual and the seats fill up quickly. Depending on the time, services are available in Cantonese or English. For the most part, the place is clean and there is some mild wear and tear on the interior. The choir could stand to be a bit better for weekend services, but folks aren't coming here to listen to music. Overall the facilities are solid and the ventilation is decent given how old the building is. Parking is nearly impossible and the walk from the MTR is a good 10-15 minutes away. Rosary Church is relatively close to the HK Science Museum and the Museum of Natural History. Irony by proximity anyone?
