I Shing Temple, Chinese temple in Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.

I Shing Temple is a three-bay, two-hall Qing brick temple with a recessed entrance in Tung Tau Wai, Wang Chau. Its white plaque reads "I Shing Kung" in black, and the couplet "橫沾聖德 洲感神恩" hides the place name Wang Chau. Inside, a courtyard is flanked by side chambers.

Residents from six villages in Wang Chau built the temple together in 1718 to establish a shared place of worship. This collaborative founding shaped it as a communal sanctuary for multiple settlements.

The temple honors Hung Shing and Che Kung, two deities whose altars feature metal pinwheels and traditional ornaments that frame religious ceremonies. These spaces remain active places where worshippers gather to maintain their spiritual practices.

The temple is accessible via local roads and has an open layout allowing visitors to move between exterior and interior spaces freely. For a fuller understanding of the religious displays and decorations, it helps to explore the grounds at a relaxed pace.

A bell cast in the wuxu year of the Kangxi reign (1718) is kept in the temple; it is the evidence used to date the building. The temple's couplet embeds the place name Wang Chau in its first characters.
