Recordist's notes
Visitors pray and pay respect to Wong Tai Sin, a Taoist deity, asking for his continued blessings in the new year and making wishes for the year ahead. We can hear people practicing “kau cim” - shaking a bamboo cylinder containing fortune sticks until one falls out - which is then interpreted to reveal one’s fortune for the coming year
