One of Hong Kong's most colorful temples
Repulse Bay's Kwun Yam Shrine and the "Longevity Bridge" : This vivid and colorful shrine is nestled at the southernmost end of Repulse Bay's sandy strip, next to Hong Kong Life Guard Club and the small promenade, and although it looks more like a mini Luna-park than a place of worship, it is certainly worth a visit. Alongside Kwun Yam, the Chinese bodhisattva of compassion, there are statues of Tin Hau and other deities, including some very beautiful mosaic statues.
Most of the statues are believed to bring a positive change in life to those devotees who take a certain action, and that includes the brightly red "Longevity Bridge", next to the shrine, which presumably adds three extra days of life to every person who crosses it.
