Tze Yeung Tung Temple, Chinese temple in Sham Shui Po District, Hong Kong.
Tze Yeung Tung Temple is a Chinese temple in Sham Shui Po featuring ornate altars and religious statuary. Inside, visitors find representations of several deities integrated into traditional worship practices.
The temple was founded in 1952 by Mr Cheuk Cho-Yan (卓祖印) and male relatives, who built a wooden structure called Zi Yeung Tung on a plot north of Cheung Sha Wan on Ching Cheung Road, with Guanyin as principal deity and Sun Wukong and Hoi Shan Pak Kung as secondary. It was rebuilt through fundraising in 1976 and 1979. In early 2010 it registered as the non-profit Zi Yeung Tung Fat Tong Limited, then applied for religious charitable status.
This place serves as a spiritual gathering space where locals come to seek blessings and participate in communal worship. During festival periods, incense fills the air as people gather to honor the deities and strengthen their connection to traditional practices.
The temple stands on a stretch of Ching Cheung Road in the So Uk area of Sham Shui Po, with Yuen Ching Kok as its northern neighbour. It is reached by bus. The site was long an unregistered structure, and in February 2004 the Town Planning Board kept it, rezoning its plot from Green Belt to Government, Institution or Community to cap any development at the existing building's form and height.
The temple began as an unregistered structure; in February 2004 the Planning Department, after consulting other departments, decided to keep it and proposed rezoning its site from Green Belt to Government, Institution or Community, limiting any development to the existing building's form and height.
