Yuen Ching Kwok

Yuen Ching Kwok, Taoist temple in Sham Shui Po District, Hong Kong

Yuen Ching Kok is a Taoist temple to Wong Tai Sin at San Wai Tsuen, Cheung Sha Wan, built on a hillside and split into upper and lower groups of buildings across about 20,000 square feet. Its gate carries the plaque "Wong Tai Sin Temple"; the main hall holds the Wong Tai Sin image flanked by Wang Zhang and Zhang Yu on the side altars. Reaching it takes a stair climb of about two minutes.

During the Japanese occupation, residents of western Kowloon faced harassment when visiting Sik Sik Yuen. In April 1942, Chaozhou merchant Zhou Liangxing invited Wong Tai Sin to a altar at 23 North帝 Street, To Kwa Wan, first named Zhu Qi Ting. The altar moved to 38 Junction Road in August 1942 and was renamed Yuen Ching Kok in September 1942. The current buildings in San Wai Tsuen, Castle Peak Road, were completed in spring 1955 and opened on 24 April 1955.

The temple keeps a spirit-writing altar (ji tan) and serves free vegetarian meals in its covered outdoor dining hall on the 1st and 15th of each lunar month and on Wong Tai Sin's birthday, the 23rd day of the eighth lunar month. On those days prayer services begin at 11 a.m., and a Chinese medicine practitioner holds consultations on Saturdays from 3 to 5 p.m.

Yuen Ching Kok has no direct public transport; visitors can take an urban taxi. On worship days the temple runs a free shuttle bus between Broadway Street in Mei Foo Sun Chuen and the temple. Reaching the temple requires a stair climb of about two minutes up the hill.

The temple stands on a hill and is reached by a stair climb of about two minutes. South of the main hall is the cave shrine Chi Yeung Tung, built for Guanyin and Sun Wukong, and the Hong Kong and Kowloon Fuk Tak Buddhist Association stands nearby.
