Hau Wong Temple, Junction Road, Chinese temple in Wong Tai Sin District, Hong Kong.

The temple stands on a stone platform at the intersection of Junction Road and Tung Tau Tsuen Road, featuring granite columns and wooden beams.

Built before 1730 during the Qing Dynasty, the temple underwent renovations in 1759, 1822, and 1879 to maintain its structural integrity.

The temple houses valuable artifacts, including Shiwan relief sculptures embedded in walls and an iron incense burner inscribed with Chinese characters.

The temple is accessible through multiple bus and minibus routes, with transportation information available through the Hong Kong eTransport website.

The rear hall features a mountain-shaped wall design known as 'Five Sacred Mountains Paying Homage to Heaven,' which is rare in Hong Kong.
