4- Buddha


5- Buddhas


6- Kuan Yin

9- What does the chinese characters say?

    I don't know the names either. Actually even I knew the names, it's very likely that I had no clue what exactly they meant.

    Did you touch the Wealth God and then touch your own pocket to signify a transfer of wealth from him to you? People can also touch the Buddha with many children in the hope of having a child soon.

    The Hong Kong tourist guide taught us this during my last visit there.
