Tam Kung Temple, Shau Kei Wan, Chinese temple in Shau Kei Wan, Hong Kong.

The temple features grey stone walls, curved roofs with ornamental details, and traditional Chinese architectural elements facing the waterfront of Eastern Hong Kong Island.

Built in 1905 by local fishermen, the temple underwent several reconstructions before receiving Grade III historic building status in 2013.

During Tam Kung's birthday on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, the temple hosts celebrations with dragon dances and kung fu performances.

Located near public transportation, the temple stays open daily from morning to evening, allowing visitors to observe traditional prayer rituals and ceremonies.

A large stone at the temple entrance, known as Tam Kung's seal, holds particular importance for local fishermen seeking protection at sea.
