The teachings of Buddha and of Tao are followed by many believers in Hong Kong. Most Chinese homes have a small shrine honouring a particular god. Households put themselves under the protection of special gods, logevity, prosperity and good fortune. Temples can be small and simple or huge with elaboate decorations. Inside these temples inscense fills the air, red candles are lit with an array of statues and gold carvings.
