Hung Shing Temple, Chinese temple in Tai O, Hong Kong.

The Hung Shing Temple stands near the waterfront of Tai O fishing village, featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements and a copper bell from the Qing dynasty.

Local villagers constructed this temple in 1746, establishing it as a religious center for maritime communities seeking protection during their seafaring activities.

The temple maintains its role as a center for religious ceremonies, with worshippers gathering for prayers and offerings during lunar festivals throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a bus to Tai O terminal, followed by a short walk through the village streets to the waterfront location.

The temple walls display an ancient mural depicting the Eight Immortals, and it serves as the final destination during the annual Tai O Dragon Boat Water Parade.
