Kwun Yum Temple, Tsz Wan Shan

Kwun Yum Temple, Tsz Wan Shan, Buddhist temple in Tsz Wan Shan, Hong Kong

Kwun Yum Temple in Tsz Wan Shan is a small temple on a hillside south of Sha Tin Pass Road, managed by the Chinese Temples Committee. It is dedicated to Kwun Yum and sits with its back to the hill and its face toward the sea, on a site described as resembling a bat carrying a basket. A columbarium was added at the temple.

The temple was built in 1853, the third year of the Xianfeng reign of the Qing dynasty, on a slope south of Sha Tin Pass Road. Its last major renovation was completed in 1998, when a columbarium for ashes was also built. It is managed by the Chinese Temples Committee.

The temple is dedicated to Kwun Yum, a revered bodhisattva in Chinese folk practice known for compassion and aid. Visitors come to light incense and make offerings, reflecting the central place this sanctuary holds in the community's daily spiritual life.

The temple stands on a slope south of Sha Tin Pass Road in Tsz Wan Shan, managed by the Chinese Temples Committee. A small path beside it climbs by steps to Sha Tin Pass Road; from there the Wilson Trail Section 5 runs past Lion Pavilion to Sha Kok Estate and Pok Hong Estate in Sha Tin, about 4.5 km.

The temple gives Tsz Wan Shan its name and the area its alias "Temple Hill". Its hillside site, backed by the mountain and facing the sea, is described in the temple's own tradition as shaped like a bat carrying a basket, a favourable feng shui setting. A small path beside the temple climbs to Sha Tin Pass Road.
