Tsuen Wan Lung Mo Temple, Chinese temple in Lo Wai Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong.
Tsuen Wan Lung Mo Temple consists of two buildings reached by stairs from the main gate. On the right at the top is the main hall, the Lung Mo Treasure Hall, which houses the Dragon Mother and stands above a view of Tsuen Wan; a fortune-telling hall adjoins it. On the left, a two-storey building holds the Tai Sui Hall and ancestral tablets below, and the Guanyin Hall, Yuanchen Hall and Dragon Mother's Dressing Chamber above. A passage on the right of the main hall leads to Tsuen Wan Di Zang Temple.
Lay Buddhist Liao Yueying, known as "Second Aunt", founded the hall in 1957 after learning of the Dragon Mother's virtues; a first hall rose in Ha Kwai Chung with a branch in Sheung Wan. Urban development forced clearance, and the government granted land on Upper Corner Mountain in Tsuen Wan, where years of work turned a barren hillside into the present temple. A 2002 renovation added the Tsui Yu Pavilion and a stele commemorating her.
The temple is dedicated to Lung Mo, the Dragon Mother. On the upper floor of the two-storey building, the Lung Mo Dressing Tower lets worshippers perform the traditional "touching the dragon bed" custom to pray for children. The temple is privately run, and lay devotees also come for divination and to have their troubles resolved.
No public transport reaches the gate. Take minibus 81 and alight at the junction of Lo Wai Road and Sheung Kok Shan Road, then follow Sheung Kok Shan Road right and walk about 10 minutes up the Sheung Kok Shan East slope to the main entrance. A taxi can drive directly to the temple gate.
The upper floor of the two-storey building holds the Guanyin Hall, Yuanchen Hall and Lung Mo's dressing room, where worshippers perform the traditional "touching the dragon bed" custom to pray for children. The main hall stands at the top of the stairs and looks down over Tsuen Wan.
