Sam Tai Tsz Temple and Pak Tai Temple

The temple compound contains two separate religious structures at 196-198 Yu Chau Street, dedicated to the deities Sam Tai Tsz and Pak Tai.

Local Hakka residents constructed the Sam Tai Tsz Temple in 1898 after the deity helped dissipate a plague outbreak in 1894 in the Sham Shui Po area.

The temple houses artifacts from the late Qing dynasty, including century-old bells and drums that reflect traditional Chinese religious practices.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking the MTR to Sham Shui Po Station Exit A2, followed by a five-minute walk to the entrance.

The bronze tortoise and serpent beneath Pak Tai's image in the temple represent the eternal conflict between positive and negative forces.
