延慶寺, Buddhist temple in Hong Kong, China.

Yanqing Temple is a Buddhist temple on Mount Qiang, over 300 metres above sea level on Lantau Island. Built by Master Miaozhi in 1966 and renovated in 2009, it is the largest of the Buddhist temples near Qiang Mountain. It has a viewing platform over northwest Lantau and offers overnight stays for meditation and Buddhist music.

Yanqing Temple was built on Mount Qiang, above 300 metres on Lantau Island, by Master Miaozhi in 1966. A renovation followed in 2009. In late 2010 the government listed the temple's columbarium at Luk Wu as non-compliant, and in early 2011 Hong Kong Yanqing Temple Limited sought a High Court declaration that a 20 January 1986 Islands District Office letter promising no action over stored ashes was binding.

The temple's name, Yanqing, means "extended celebration" and it was founded by Master Miaozhi. Visitors can stay overnight to join Buddhist meditation and listen to Buddhist music, and on clear nights the hilltop setting allows stargazing. The temple also appeared in the 2001 film "Love Undercover," which brought it wider attention.

The temple sits above 300 metres on Keung Shan, in Tai O's Lo Wu area of Lantau; reach it on foot via the Keung Shan trail or by taxi from Tung Chung or Tai O. Overnight stays are possible, letting visitors join Buddhist meditation and listen to Buddhist music. On clear nights the terrace is good for stargazing.

Yanqing Temple appears in the 2001 Hong Kong film "Love Undercover", whose scenes of the temple and its mountain setting brought it wider public attention. The temple's management company went to the High Court in early 2011 over a 1986 Islands District Office letter concerning ashes kept there.
