Pat Heung Temple, Chinese temple in Sheung Tsuen, Hong Kong.

Pat Heung Temple is a Chinese temple in Yuen Long District that showcases traditional architectural elements with a main shrine dedicated to Kwun Yum. The structure displays typical features of Chinese religious buildings, with spaces arranged for worship and ceremonial purposes.

Pat Heung Temple was built in 1763, during the 28th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing dynasty. It was rebuilt in 1861, 1887, 1963 and 1987, and again after a fire in 2012. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong it served as a base for resistance fighters, and it is now a Grade II historic building.

The temple belongs to the Tong Yik Tong, and on the autumn equinox and Kwun Yum's birthday it hosts a vegetarian feast and a basin feast respectively. Its right side holds a martyrs' shrine honouring those who died for Pat Heung, including villagers lost in the 1898 Six-Day War.

The temple stands in Sheung Tsuen, Pat Heung, in Yuen Long District. The source lists no bus or minibus routes, so check current services to Sheung Tsuen before setting out. The temple is a Grade II historic building and was repaired after a 2012 fire, so some halls may be closed off.

The temple holds a century-old Ficus virens var. sublanceolata (biannianguan banyan) with a trunk diameter of 130 cm, the largest of its species recorded in Hong Kong. It is listed among the city's Old and Valuable Trees.
