Fung Ying Seen Koon, Taoist temple in Fanling, Hong Kong.
Fung Ying Seen Koon is a Taoist temple on a hillside above Fanling, founded in 1929. Its double roof of orange tiles rests on stout red stone pillars, and the grounds step up the slope past the Grand Temple, Guanyin Temple and Yuen San Temple, with pavilions, arches and stone carvings between them.
The temple was founded in 1929 and follows the Quanzhen Longmen tradition of Taoism. Its name refers to two mythical islands in the Bohai Sea, which hold meaning in Taoist mythology.
The temple serves as a center for Taoist worship, with separate halls dedicated to different deities that visitors can explore at their own pace. Each space reflects how local people connect with specific spiritual figures through prayer and offerings.
The temple sits near Fanling MTR Station, making it easy to reach by public transport. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the grounds are on a slope with stairs connecting the different halls.
The Wall of the Taishang Daode Jing (太上道德經壁) is one of several artworks in the grounds, alongside a stone carving of the Twelve Zodiac Animals and a colourful depiction of the Yellow Emperor consulting the hermit Guangchengzi. The temple's name comes from Fung Lai and Ying Chau, two fairy islands in the Bohai Sea.
