Alter and kneeling cushions

Inside the temple is an alter at which incense sticks may be lit, offerings made and prayers offered up to Pak Tai in the hope that he will assist with protection from the sea. Temples to Pak Tai are always close to the sea, or at least with an uninterrupted view given that most of the Hong Kong coastline is now reclaimed.

The cushions for kneeling before the alter are embroidered with the word 福 (pronunced as fuk with first tone) which literally means luck.

FOOD AND SHOPPING

While often visited for the view the visitor should not forget that The Market encompasses a wide range of shopping and dining options, from the casual to the sophisticated.  Within the Stanley area are examples of many of Hong Kong's most authentic and distinctive styles, as well as international choices to fit all palates and budgets.
