HUNG SHING TEMPLE
This temple, built in 1860, is dedicated to Hung Shing Yeh, a divinity of the sea
The Hung Shing temple, built in 1860, is a precious testimony to Hong Kong's maritime history. Dedicated to Hung Shing, also known as Hung Shing Ye, this god is worshipped to protect sailors and fishermen from storms and ensure calm waters. Indeed, this temple once stood close to the shore, long before land was reclaimed from the sea. Now surrounded by skyscrapers, it retains its traditional charm with green tiles, mythological figures and a richly decorated central altar.
