The Lam Tsuen Wishing Trees (林村許願樹) is one of the popular shrines in Hong Kong. It is located near the Tin Hau Temple in Fong Ma Po Village (放馬莆村), in Lam Tsuen. The temple was built around 1768 or 1771.
Many tourists and the locals go to there frequency during the Lunar New Year. Not only they burn joss sticks, but also write their wishes on the joss paper and then tie to an orange. After that, they will throw them up to hang in the two banyan trees. They believe that their wishes will come true if the paper hang onto one of the tree branches successfully.
Unfortunately, a wishing tree branch had broken down the tree crushed visitors early years, and now the department has banned visitors to cast paper placards on the tree.
The department only provide the board nearly the wishing tree to let people to hang.
I find out some interesting thing which is the internet users wishing tree. CUeasy.com prepared this wishing tree for people to make a wish and they can throw a taste of fun of paper placards on the tree and pray. It's so funny!
