Visited at Kwun Yam Shrine


Kwun Yam Shrine is the second-site that I visited when I lived in Hong Kong. Kwun Yam Shrine is a Buddhist shrine located at the southeastern end of Repulse Bay, in the southern part of Hong Kong Island. The site is famous for the Longevity Bridge when you cross the bridge, it will add 3 years (or 3 days, as another source said) to your life. In addition, it is believe that if a visitor touches the statue of the money god from head to toe and then puts his hands in his pockets, then he will accumulate wealth. If a visitor can throw a coin into the open mouth of a fish statue, he will receive good fortune. I can throw a coin into the open mouth of a fish statue.^^
