Hip Tin Temple, Cheung Shue Tan Tsuen

Hip Tin Temple, Cheung Shue Tan Tsuen, Chinese temple in Cheung Shue Tan Tsuen, Hong Kong.

Hip Tin Temple in Cheung Shue Tan Tsuen is a small Hakka village temple about four hundred years old, founded by the Wen clan. Its 1898 expansion is recorded on a stone tablet listing donors from Mong Kok, Sha Tau Kok and Guangzhou. A 1911 renovation is also inscribed in stone. The temple is a Grade III historic building.

Founded by the Wen clan roughly four centuries ago, the temple was enlarged in 1898, when a stone stele recorded donors from as far as Mong Kok, Sha Tau Kok and Guangzhou. A second stele marks a 1911 restoration. In 1938 the village school Shuren used the temple as its classroom. It is a Grade III historic building.

The temple honours Kwan Tai, and before the village office existed it was the highest authority for Cheung Shue Tan Tsuen and the split-off Tai Po Wai. Before the war, five clans held his lunar fifth-month thirteenth birthday with four days and five nights of Cantonese opera; the statue was carried to a shrine facing the stage and a gong struck thirteen times.

The temple stands in Cheung Shue Tan Tsuen, a Hakka village in Tai Po District. The 2021–2024 restoration added a new perimeter wall, gate and paved forecourt, and a roughly two-tonne marble Earth God shrine was installed in 2023. The temple is an active place of worship, so visitors should expect ceremonies and avoid disturbing them.

Four carved wooden couplets once hung inside the temple, among them one reading "千秋大義無雙士;萬古精忠第一人". All four were burned during the Japanese occupation of 1941–1945, so the pair seen today are not the originals. The 1898 renovation stele records donors from Mong Kok, Sha Tau Kok and Guangzhou.
