Hung Shing Temple, Kau Sai Chau, Chinese temple and declared monument in Kau Sai Chau, Hong Kong.

The temple consists of a two-hall, three-bay structure with altars dedicated to Hung Shing and other deities in its main hall.

Local fishing communities funded the construction of this temple before 1889, as documented by historical records and a stone tablet at the site.

The temple holds ceremonies on the thirteenth day of the second lunar month to celebrate the Hung Shing Festival with traditional rituals.

Visitors need to arrange private boat transportation to reach the temple on Kau Sai Chau island, as regular ferry services are limited.

The temple restoration project received the Outstanding Project Award from UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation in 2000.
