Church of Saints Peter and Paul, Eastern Orthodox church building in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
The Church of Saints Peter and Paul is an Eastern Orthodox parish located on the twelfth floor of the Kingdom Power Commercial Building at 32-36 Des Voeux Road West. It features a library, a small bookstore, and a Sunday school program where people can explore Orthodox faith and religious texts.
The church was established in 1934 by Father Dmitry Uspensky as Russian refugees fled China following the Bolshevik Revolution. After a period of closure, services resumed in 2008, marking a significant turning point for this congregation.
Services here are conducted in Church Slavonic, English, and Chinese to serve a diverse congregation with different backgrounds. You can experience how Orthodox traditions blend with Hong Kong's multicultural setting in this small community space.
The church is located within a commercial office building, so you will need to enter through a standard building lobby to reach the twelfth floor. It is helpful to confirm visiting hours beforehand, as access depends on building regulations and may differ from traditional church settings.
The Moscow Patriarchate personally oversaw the reinstatement of services in 2008, which is remarkable for such a small congregation in Hong Kong. Father Dionisy Pozdnyaev led the effort to rebuild the community after many years of dormancy.
