Fok Tak Temple, Chinese temple in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.

Fok Tak Temple is a small Earth God shrine on Haiphong Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, its facade clad in reddish-brown square tiles with lighter grout. The doorway has a red-painted surround, and above it four round red plaques carry the gold characters 福, 德, 古, 廟. A tall brown signboard to the left reads 廟貌萬民香火展明輝; inside, a dark plaque of small gold text hangs on the tiled wall.

The temple traces its origin to a 19th-century Earth God shrine of Tsim Sha Tsui Village. The present building was erected on Haiphong Road in 1900 and was revered by Chinese workers at the nearby Kowloon Wharf docks. In 1978 the government planned to demolish it to relocate the Peking Road market, but neighbourhood opposition saved it; it was rebuilt in 1979 and repaired in 1993.

Local residents light incense and pray to the Earth God here, seeking blessings for prosperity and good fortune. Visitors observe people engaging in traditional rituals and expressing their faith through daily acts of devotion.

The temple sits on Haiphong Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, a short walk from the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station and the Star Ferry pier. The entrance faces the street, so it is easy to find while walking the shopping blocks around Canton Road. The doorway is narrow and the interior is small, so visits are brief.

The temple survived a 1978 government demolition plan: the authorities wanted to move the Peking Road market onto the site, but neighbourhood opposition kept the building standing, and it was rebuilt in its present form in 1979. The couplets at the main door, written by Liu Lit-man, praise the Earth God's favour over a century of local worshippers.
