We took a walk on our day off to get a closeup view of what we can see out our apartment window. This is a Taoist temple. The inside was beautiful and we saw 3 Taoist priests dressed in red and black robes singing and tapping on drums and gongs. Unfortunately it wasn't appropriate to take a picture of them. Others were there worshipping by burning incense sticks (also common to Buddhism).
We were fascinated by this street worker with her broom made of a palm frond wired to a bamboo pole - note her hat with the hanging shade (click on picture to enlarge). We found a beautifully landscaped, shady park with a walking path winding through it. We passed numerous people (some in groups) doing their morning stretches, i.e. Chinese Tai Chi exercises. We hope to walk there often. There are many "green" spaces created now in this and other newer areas which is a nice change from the "cement city" (Hong Kong) that we knew 40 years ago.
