Ho Chung Che Kung Temple

Ho Chung Che Kung Temple, Taoist temple in Ho Chung, Sai Kung District, Hong Kong.

Ho Chung Che Kung Temple stands north of the Ho Chung River and Ho Chung Road in Sai Kung District, facing the stream and backed by a feng shui forest. The Ming-era building, founded around 1540, keeps its traditional layout and is a Grade I historic building. A white stone horse once stood outside the temple.

The temple was built in the Ming dynasty, around the 1540s, making it roughly 200 years older than the Che Kung Temple in Sha Tin. It honours Che Kung, a Song-dynasty general said to have quelled a rebellion in southern China and to have followed the fleeing Song emperor to Hong Kong, dying on the way. Villagers founded it to honour his healing and to counter the inauspicious "five tigers" landform around Ho Chung.

The temple is dedicated to Che Kung, a Song-dynasty general whom villagers credit with curing illness; after his death they built the shrine to honour him and to suppress the five hills around Ho Chung. The temple keeps statues of three generations of Che Kung, and it was the grandson's image that was sent to Sha Tin. The Wan family, resident in the village for generations, manages the temple.

The temple stands north of Ho Chung River and Ho Chung Road, east of Ho Chung New Village and the former Asia Television studios in Ho Chung. It faces the river and backs onto a fung shui woodland, so the approach is on foot along Ho Chung Road.

Villagers tell of a white stone horse placed outside the temple for Che Kung. For three years the rice harvest failed and the stalks were found trampled, so the horse was buried under the forecourt with an incense burner on top. A scholar later used radar to locate it, but the excavation was called off after villagers objected.
