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

Hau Wong Temple is a Chinese place of worship built on a stone platform at the intersection of Junction Road and Tung Tau Tsuen Road, constructed with granite columns and wooden beams throughout its structure. The building displays carefully carved stonework and traditional craftsmanship in its design and construction.

The temple was founded before 1730 during the Qing Dynasty and later underwent repairs to maintain its structural integrity over time. These renovation efforts show how the community valued and cared for the building across centuries.

The temple's name honours Hau Wong, generally identified as Yang Liangjie, a Southern Song loyalist; his festival falls on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. Inside, the iron incense burner inscribed "Hau Wong's Seat" was set up in 1847 by Kowloon magistrate Xu Wenshen, and the wooden plaque "Zhi Cheng Qian Zhi" was given by Lai Zhenbian, a Qing officer stationed at Kowloon Walled City.

The temple can be reached by several bus and minibus routes from different parts of the district and is located at a well-connected intersection. Visitor information about local transportation options is readily available through various resources.

The wooden plaque "至誠前知" above the doorway was given by Lai Zhenbian, a Guangdong Dapeng brigade deputy commander stationed at Kowloon Walled City during the Tongzhi and Guangxu reigns. Inside stands an iron censer inscribed "侯王座前", set up in 1847 by Kowloon magistrate Xu Wenshen.
