Worship to Taoist gods as well as Buddhist and Confuscist is usually by way of offering. People will bring food to please the god, this is usually in the form of fruit, however in a move unique to Hong Kong many people will offer hot takeaway meals - although this is more usually associated with ancestor worship. If you want to find some favor with a certain god, bring some fruit god and place it at the feet of your favorite immortal.

Warning: As in western churches, praying is an intently personal experience. Before taking any pictures, ask permission.
