Hung Shing Temple

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

Tai O Hung Shing Temple is a two-hall, three-bay structure in Tai O on Lantau Island, dedicated to Hung Shing, the sea god. Its plan follows the Qing hall-and-bay layout, with a main hall behind the entrance hall and altars for offerings.

The temple was built in 1736, the first year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing dynasty, and its bronze bell was cast the same year. It is a two-hall, three-bay structure dedicated to Hung Shing, the sea god.

The temple honours Hung Shing, the sea god, and its bronze bell was cast in the same year as the building, 1736. Tai O's fishing families have long come here to pray for safe passage at sea, and the bell remains part of the temple's ritual life.

The temple stands in Tai O village on Lantau Island, in Hong Kong's Islands District, reached on foot through the village lanes; the nearest bus terminal is Tai O's. The building is a two-hall, three-bay structure, so the halls are shallow and the visit is short. The bronze bell cast in 1736 hangs inside.

The temple's bronze bell was cast in 1736, the same year as its construction, and is kept inside the building. It is the detail most visitors pass without noticing, since attention goes to the altars and roof.
