Kwan Kung Pavilion, Chinese temple in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong.
Kwan Kung Pavilion is a Chinese temple on Cheung Chau Island that houses an eight-foot statue of the deity Kwan Tai, carved from a single piece of camphor wood. The structure features traditional architectural elements and serves as a dedicated place of worship for this god of war and wealth.
The temple was established in 1973 on Cheung Chau Island as a dedication to Kwan Tai, the Chinese god of war and wealth. It has remained an established shrine, venerated by generations of island residents since its creation.
The pavilion serves as a gathering place where local residents come to request blessings for protection, success, and financial prosperity. Visitors light incense sticks and leave offerings as expressions of their devotion.
The temple is accessible via Kwun Yam Wan Road on the island and can be reached on foot from nearby areas. It is recommended to check opening hours in advance since times may vary seasonally or for special occasions.
Two dragon sculptures adorn the incense burner at the entrance, a decorative detail that gives this small temple a distinctive character. These figures are often overlooked by visitors but add a notable artistic touch to the front of the shrine.
