Tin Hau Temple is one of Kowloon’s oldest temples. It is dedicated to Tin Hau, the goddess of seafarers. It is located a few blocks northeast of the Jade Market . Like many other Chinese temples, incense and crowds of worshippers cause jovial congestion. An incense spiral that should burn for 10 days costs HK$130.
Fortune Sticks
Inside the temple you will witness many worshippers shaking a tube of fortune sticks in front of the goddess Tin Hau. The fortune sticks are also known as ’chim’. Seeking the will of God by using the fortune sticks is called ’kau chim’ (’kau’ means request). There are altogether 100 chim sticks contained in the tube which is usually made of bamboo. Shake the tube until one chim stick falls out. According to the number on the stick in combination with your date of birth, a fortune-teller can make predictions based on numerology.
Tip:
You will find a long row of fortune-tellers through the last doorway on the right from the main entrance of the temple. Signs indicate which fortune-tellers speak English (which means you have no excuse for not trying!).

Li's theory is that the land was somewhat more bountiful for PaleolithicMan back in the Stone Ages. A large mural depicts a group ambushing a fierce-looking bull near a glade, while a nearby party is getting down to some fishing in the river. In the background, another pair is in hot pursuit of some deer. Further paintings depict the habitat as lush, verdant and teeming with rabbits, stag and oxen – ideal hunting ground, in other words."This is Wangfujing(meaning Place of the palace well) in the old days," Li theorized. "The river is the secondary branch of the ancient Yong Ding River… the half-desert half-pasture area is full of abundant animals that drew these so-called cavemen here in the good season."
Wangfujing Paleolithic MuseumⅣ
The old Beijinger?
...The old Beijinger?
The significance of all this (and the reason they bothered to make such a fuss) is that the discovery of these relics has puzzled historians and archaeologists. Until now, the oldest Peking Man's remains were housed at the Zhoukoudian site museum, and the materials found here bear a close resemblance to the ones there. Given that these people are presumed to have lived in caves, lacking the ability to construct their own shelter, the question is, what are these Yan mountain dwellers doing out here on the plains? Because it sure isn't shopping.

The tools also allowed them to date the remains: "Only siliceous rock could be sharpened," Li said, "which shows our ancestors had developed the ability to identify and choose the right texture for their stone tools."
...The tools also allowed them to date the remains: "Only siliceous rock could be sharpened," Li said, "which shows our ancestors had developed the ability to identify and choose the right texture for their stone tools."
The museum essentially consists of photographs taken from the Oriental Plaza dig, alongside the relics themselves. The centerpiece is a 50 square meter patch of soil that marks the spot of the original discovery (the original area was around 890 meters but the museum has wisely chosen to keep only a representative sample). You can see that the dig was divided into two parts, with separate discoveries being found at a depth of 11 and 12 metres, representing a thousand year gap in activity.
