sticks and candles burn exuberantly all year round, especially during
Chinese New Year and the birthday of Wong Tai Sin (the 23rd day of the

practicing kau cim at Wong Tai Sin Temple, they kneel and pray before
the main altar, make a wish, and shake a bamboo cylinder containing
fortune sticks until one falls out.
With his mercy and power, Wong Tai Sin is said to grant whatever is requested.
These
fortune-telling stalls are located at the main entrance of the temple.
Fortunes are told in either English, Putonghua or Cantonese.

and the soothsayer then interprets the fortune on the paper for the
worshipper.
