HONG KONG temples???

Might be able to have a 3 day lay stop in Hong Kong....
I am aware that it is a "big city" but does it have its "spiritual corners"???
Any really great temples...? Or is it a giant urban sprawl?

thanks

It is both.
On Lantau island you have a giant Buddha and in the city there are several
temples, not forgetting the moschee in Tsim Sha Tsui

HK's spiritual center is located right inside the HKSB building. Yes there
are a couple of very popular temples but nothing "really great". There is a
new one just built several years ago with very interesting architecture, no
nail was used in the entire building. All the wood was fitted together.

There's a collection of temples dedicated to Confucianism, Buddhism and
Taoism at the Yuen Yuen Institute in the Tsuen Wan district. Very touristy,
but worth a visit if you're into temples.

Wong Tai Sin Temple is interesting to visit. It is very close to Wong
Tai Sin subway station.

There are about 5 million people in HK.

Of course it has its spiritual corners.
