Chun Kwan Temple, Taoist temple in Tsing Yi, Hong Kong
Chun Kwan Temple is a Taoist temple at the junction of Tsing Yi Heung Sze Wui Road and Fung Shue Wo Road on Tsing Yi Island, rebuilt in 1986. Its moulded clay temple plaque reads "Chun Kwan Old Temple" (真君古廟), and the door couplet praises the god's power at Ling Kong and his virtue before the imperial palace. A Tai Sui Palace stands on its left side.
The temple was originally built near the waterfront in the early 1900s and relocated to its current position during the 1980s due to urban development. This move reflects how the district transformed from a harbor area into a modern urban neighborhood.
Chun Kwan's birthday falls on the 15th day of the third lunar month. Cantonese opera is staged for five days on the football pitch beside the Tsing Yi Complex opposite the temple. The festival appears in Hong Kong's first intangible heritage list, published in 2004 with 480 items.
