Just 20 minutes from Tai Po Market, Lam Tsuen valley contains the extraordinary Tai Po wishing trees. These large Chinese banyans offer the chance for your wishes to come true and are a popular pilgrimage site. To try your hand, you need to throw a brightly colored streamer attached to an orange (known as bao die) into the branches.
Only if your orange stays in the tree will your wish come true, so it’s worth watching the locals first! If your bao die falls back to the ground, superstition says you were too greedy with your wish. It’s a particularly
busy spot throughout the Chinese New Year celebrations, with people from all over the region visiting to make their New Year’s wishes come true.
