Yeung Hau Temple, Tung Tau Tsuen, Ha Tsuen, Chinese temple in Tung Tau Tsuen, Hong Kong.
Description
Yeung Hau Temple sits in the northeastern section of Tung Tau Tsuen with a traditional two-hall layout and a central courtyard featuring an incense tower. The building combines typical elements of Chinese temple architecture from the early centuries.
History
The Tang family built this temple before 1811 during the Qing dynasty, and Hong Kong authorities recognized it as a declared monument in November 1988. This designation reflects the site's long importance to the local community across generations.
Culture
Inside the temple, three altars hold incense and offerings, while red sandstone columns frame the front entrance. Visitors can see how the local community maintains these religious spaces through regular worship and care.
Practical
The temple maintains regular opening hours for those who wish to observe or participate in worship. Visitors should wear modest clothing and respect ongoing ceremonies and prayer activities.
