Man Mo Temple
It's the Labor Day national holiday in China & Hong Kong. one of the few
holidays for mainland besides Chinese New Year. Elwin & I are spending the
day exploring Tai Po. An old rural town near the Chinese border. We went
through a wet market with fish, pork & beef on the first floor & vegetables
on the second. Outside are the main streets lined with shops. Ate some
sugar buns filled with red bean paste. Yum. Bumped into this buddhist
temple in the middle of the busi-ness of the street markets. Even though
this a communist holiday in general, the temple is full of burning incense
& kow towing buddists.
