All of the photos shown at the top of the Batgung website were taken in and around Hong Kong.
Ladies in the morning, practicing their Tai Chi fan routines in the local park.
Definitely an acquired taste, that I have yet to acquire.
At various places in Hong Kong you'll find clusters of these ceramic gods. Sometimes just a handful, sometimes over a hundred. Are they are bought specially for the location? Or does the site just gradually become known as a resthome for retired gods after they have done whatever good deed was required at your home?
You'll see plenty of these small restaurants around Hong Kong, with a selection of roast and barbecued meat hanging in the window. A plate of BBQ pork and steamed chicken on rice is cheap, filling, and very tasty - make sure you try it at least once if you are visiting.

This probably isn't the image most people have in mind when they think of Hong Kong, but as the photo below shows, it's just around the corner from the usual skyscrapers. You'll see this ramshackle row of huts as you leave the harbour on a junk trip towards Sai Kung.
