The message side of this postcard, bought new in Hong Kong during 1997, reads: Joss stick furnace in front of the God of Heavens. Mention is also made of “Yuk Wong Din” – Jade Emperor’s Palace - 玉皇殿; and these appear to be the three characters, read from right to left, that are over the top of the entranceway.
This postcard is number 15 in a series.
Does anyone in the Gwulo Community recognize this temple?

Thank you "sw.ho"
Thank you Gwulo Community colleague “sw.ho” for so kindly identifying that temple for us; and for so thoughtfully providing the link to that informative YouTube footage, which at roughly 3-37 mins into the clip, shows a view of the same entranceway as it appeared in about 2021.
