Sitting quietly between a busy road and a cemetery is Hong Kong’s largest Sikh temple, a descendant of a small original built in 1901 by Sikh members of the British army. The temple welcomes people of any faith, caste or colour to join in their services. Sunday prayer (9am to 1.30pm) sees some 1000 believers and nonbelievers in collective worship (fewer at the daily prayers, 6am to 8.30am and 6.30pm to 8pm).
More famous are its free vegetarian meals (11.30am to 8.30pm), a simple dal or sabzi (vegetable stew) handed to anyone walking through the blue-and-white gates. You could return the favour by helping to wash the dishes.
