Religions

Religion in Hong Kong is not as pronounced as in other Asian countries. Dominant religions include Buddhism and Taoism. Confucianism, a set of moral codes, has been absorbed into traditional Chinese values. Buddhist and Taoist deities are present in the form of about 600 Chinese temples throughout Hong Kong. Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Sikh and Jewish faiths are well established, and there are many Catholic and Protestant churches and places of worship throughout the territory.

The main Islamic mosque is on Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui; the Hindu Temple is in Happy Valley; the Sikh Temple is in Wanchai; and the Ohel Leah Synagogue is along Robinson Road.

Religious services are listed every Saturday in the South China Morning Post newspaper. Alternatively, check the "Church organizations" and "Religious organizations" listings in the Yellow Pages.
