Tai Wong Ye Temple, Chinese temple in Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong.
This Chinese temple sits on a hillside behind Tsui Ying House, with exterior walls decorated in porcelain showing a dragon on one side and a tiger on the other. The structure forms part of the residential landscape and functions as the community's spiritual center.
The temple was relocated from Lok Fu to its current location in 1963. This move established a new home for the veneration of Li Man Chung, an ancestor connected to a Song Dynasty general who migrated south during the Mongol invasions.
Local residents visit regularly to perform traditional Chinese rituals and make offerings to the deity. The space reflects how the community maintains religious practices that have been passed down through generations.
Public transportation serves the area and can be planned using the HKeMobility application from Hong Kong's Transport Department. The hilltop location means visitors should be prepared for some climbing to reach the entrance.
The original site in Lo Fu Ngam was chosen following multiple reports of Li Man Chung's spirit appearing in that area. These sightings led directly to the creation of a sacred space to honor this spiritual presence.
