Tai Wong Temple, Cheung Shing Street, Taoist temple in Yuen Long Kau Hui, Hong Kong

Tai Wong Temple on Cheung Shing Street is a Taoist sanctuary built with traditional Chinese design, featuring red wooden pillars and decorated roof ridges adorned with colored carvings. The structure contains multiple courtyards and chambers that house altars, deity statues, and ritual furnishings arranged according to classical temple layouts.

The temple was founded together with Yuen Long Old Market under the Kangxi emperor (reigned 1661–1722), when Tang Man-wai moved the market from Tai Kiu Tun and built the shrine. It was substantially repaired in 1838, during the Daoguang reign. It is a Grade I historic building and the main temple of Nam Pin Wai and the old market. A fire on 21 October 2024 destroyed and collapsed its tiled roof.

The temple honours Hung Shing Tai Wong and Yeung Hau Tai Wong, and its five stone inscriptions record how Yuen Long market was founded and changed. Every ten years the Yuen Long da jiao offering ritual still holds its deity ceremonies here, and the temple is managed by Nam Pin Wai village.

The temple welcomes visitors throughout the year with straightforward access to explore its interior spaces and courtyards. Being respectful and quiet while observing worshippers engaged in prayer helps you experience the temple's daily rhythm without disruption.

The temple holds five stone inscriptions recording how Yuen Long Market was founded and changed over time. It is managed by Nam Pin Wai, and every ten years the market's da jiao festival still holds its deity rituals inside the temple. A drum kept there had its skin slit to soften the sound so it would not frighten children.
