Kyo Chan

In September Kyoko came for a brief visit.  As always it was great to see her. 

Kyo-chan at Star Ferry terminal.

Visiting the Che Kung Temple at Tai Wai.




"Che Kung Miu is a temple for Che Kung (車公), who was a general during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) in ancient China."   

"The original temple was first built at the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and was renovated 1890,[4] 1993 and 2004.  The recent renovation is considered to have "very much diminished the authenticity of temple".  A new temple was built in 1994 in front of the original one.  The original temple has been preserved in-situ; it is only occasionally open to the public.  It is classified as a Grade II historic building since 1987.  The current Che Kung temple, in Japanese-style, was built in 1993-1994 at a cost of HK$48 million. It is eight times the size of the old one."  (wiki link)


I wondered who the Porsche belongs to...
