Heung Hoi Che Hong

Heung Hoi Che Hong, Buddhist temple in Lo Wai, Hong Kong.

Heung Hoi Che Hong is a Buddhist temple in the residential area of Lo Wai featuring traditional Chinese architectural details such as decorative roof tiles and painted columns. The temple complex includes several prayer halls and courtyards where visitors can observe daily worship and meditation practices.

The site was originally a shrine called Kwun Yam Rock. In 1960, Lo Wai villagers built the present temple in the shape of a South China fishing boat, using some stones from the San Jie Tan stream. It was first a Taoist altar; Master Foon Chung, appointed abbot through spirit writing with Lü Dongbin, later made it Buddhist.

The name Heung Hoi Che Hong means "Fragrant Sea" and "Compassionate Voyage": in Buddhist texts the fragrant sea surrounds Mount Sumeru, and Guanyin's compassionate voyage saves all beings. The temple began as a Lü Dongbin altar, and the upper deck still holds the Lü Zu Fei Zhen Ying Hua Altar with a plaque reading "明鏡非臺", from Huineng's verse. A gourd-shaped pool outside is paired with a small earth shrine inscribed "公公十分公道 婆婆一片婆心".

Take minibus 81 from the Tsuen Wan Shiu Wo Street terminus and alight at Western Monastery, then follow the downhill slope for about five minutes to a sign reading 香海慈航 and descend the flight of steps. The temple stands beside Sam Tip Tam in Lo Wai village, with Yun Lin Bridge crossing the stream on its west side.

The temple's shape imitates a South China fishing boat, designed by Lo Wai villagers; some building materials came from San Jie Tan's stones. A railing beside the red metal stairs bears the characters 慈航香海, and a gourd-shaped pool lies outside with a small earth shrine whose couplet reads 公公十分公道 婆婆一片婆心.
