Temple Fair in Central
We are back to Central because there’s a Temple Fair at the waterfront. Here we have a traditional worship podium side by side with a symbol of technology (the 88-storey International Finance Centre 2 also seen in photos on April 9 & 16). The Temple Fair is an event organised by the Tourism Board, and from what I saw, the locals are equally interested in it.
See a Google Earth image or more about the Temple Fair.

Great contrast- Two temples, the traditional one and the modern temple for the worship of material
