Colorful Flowers at Tin Hau Temple

Martyna Szmytkowska
Taoist temples are the most colorful of the three religions, as you can see from the picture above. Ornately decorated, worshippers often add brightly colored flowers and streamers to decorate the temple. Taosim is deeply superstitious and color is seen as bringing good luck, particularly red. You will find sellers outside most temples hawking statues, incense as well as flowers.
