Shau Kei Wan Shing Wong Temple, Taoist temple in Shau Kei Wan, Hong Kong

The Shau Kei Wan Shing Wong Temple includes a central altar with the City God statue and plaques representing the Ten Kings of Hell.

Established in 1877 as Fuk Tak Tsz temple, the structure underwent a major transformation in 1974 when its main deity and name changed to Shing Wong.

The temple maintains traditional Chinese practices where visitors offer incense and prayers to Shing Wong, believed to protect the city and its residents.

Located at the intersection of residential streets in Eastern District, the temple remains open for worship services and receives visitors throughout the day.

The temple features a stone marker inscribed with 'Tin Gun Chi Fuk,' meaning 'the Heavenly Officer bestows fortune' opposite the entrance door.
