Hung Shing Temple, Taoist temple in Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong.
The temple features traditional Chinese architectural elements with ornate carvings, decorative motifs, and altars dedicated to Hung Shing, the God of South Sea.
Built in 1871, this temple served as a central gathering point for the fishing community, where locals sought blessings for maritime safety and successful catches.
The temple celebrates the Hung Shing Festival on the thirteenth day of the second lunar month with traditional ceremonies and community gatherings.
