| Description |
Kwum Yam Shrine is a Taoist shrine at the southeastern end of Repulse Bay, in the southern part of Hong Kong Island. It is popular for its colourful mosaic statues of Chinese mythology deities and creatures like dragon, goldfish and rams, of varying sizes. According to local folklore, most of the statues are believed to bring a positive change in life to those devotees who take a certain action. The three celestial rams present the jade sceptre, held in the mouth by the middle ram, to the people of Hong Kong. The Island on the right is Middle Island, where the beach scene in "Love is Many a Splendored Thing" with William Holden was filmed. |
