Yeung Hau Temple, Hang Tau Tsuen

Yeung Hau Temple, Hang Tau Tsuen, Chinese temple in Hang Tau Tsuen, Hong Kong.

Yeung Hau Temple in Hang Tau Tsuen is a three-bay structure with traditional Chinese architecture and a main hall housing statues of Hau Wong, To Tei, and Kam Fa. The courtyard and interior spaces display classic temple design elements with stone features and wooden construction.

The construction date of Yeung Hau Temple is unknown; village elders say it is several hundred years old. Plaques inside record major renovations in 1963 and 1991. The temple is one of six in Yuen Long District dedicated to Hau Wong, the title given to Yang Liangjie, a Song dynasty loyalist who died protecting the emperor.

Villagers identify Hau Wong with Yang Liangjie, a Song loyalist who died protecting the last Song emperor and was later worshipped as a deity. The temple holds paired couplets, including one reading "Guo qi gai zhong qian gu ying ling yi zong di, Yang men bao zhang wan jia xiang huo bai Hou wang", linking the Yang clan's loyalty to the emperor with the incense offered to Hau Wong at Ping Shan.

The temple is part of the Ping Shan Heritage Trail and allows visitors access to multiple historical structures in the Yuen Long area. Those exploring the region should allow time to walk between the various sites.

Two stone drum platforms and red sandstone columns decorate the front hall, showing rare examples of these decorative elements. These materials were expensive in traditional Chinese architecture and were used only in important religious buildings.
