===Religious diversity=== [[Image:Hk wan chai old temple 1.jpg|thumb|left|[[Hung Shing Temple, Wan Chai|Hung Shing Temple]]]] Wan Chai's places of worship represent [[Buddhism]], [[Taoism]], [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholicism]], [[Protestantism]], Christianity, [[Mormonism]], [[Sikhism]], and [[Islam]]. Despite the wide variety, many religious structures are located in close proximity to each other. [[Hung Shing Temple, Wan Chai|Hung Shing Temple]], for example, is a typically [[Taoist]] temple. Inside, there are [[Buddhist]] [[Kwun Yum]] chapels next to the main altar. People coming to worship [[Hung Shing Ye]] could also burn [[joss stick]]s to Kwun Yum as well. [[Villain hitting]] is another blended ceremony, combining in different proportions [[Confucianism]], [[Taoism]], and [[Chinese folk religion|folk religion]]. Some old female "psychics" perform this ancient ceremony under the [[Canal Road Flyover]] in particular days of a lunar month. The Wan Chai [[Khalsa Diwan Sikh Temple]] is the biggest [[Gurdwara|Sikh temple]] in Hong Kong.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thaiworldview.com/hongkong/hkisland/wanchai.htm|title=Wan Chai1|publisher=Thaiworldview|date=1 January 1998|access-date=28 August 2007}}</ref> The Asia [[Area (LDS Church)|Area Office]] of [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]], along with chapels where multiple congregations meet throughout the week, is on [[Gloucester Road, Hong Kong|Gloucester Road]].
