Sam Shan Kwok Wong Temple, Chinese temple in Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong.
Sam Shan Kwok Wong Temple stands on Fuk Hang Path on Pak Nai Shan in Sai Tso Wan, Kwun Tong District, near Wai Fat Road. The temple enshrines three mountain deities and has a Tin Hau Temple and a Fok Tak Temple beside it. Its entrance carries a couplet praising the temple's repair and the gods' blessings.
The temple existed in the 1950s in the squatter area of Sai Tso Wan and was relocated and rebuilt at its present site on Fuk Hong Path in 1983 due to clearance. The three mountain deities it honours were said to have helped Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi win a battle, after which the Song court granted them the title of king. The three statues were newly made during a 2006 renovation.
The temple serves worshippers devoted to three deities from the Chaozhou region, and visitors can see offerings of incense and gifts at the altars throughout the year. The site remains an active place where local residents come to seek blessings and participate in religious observances.
The temple is situated near Choi Hung MTR station, making it accessible by public transport in a neighborhood with other civic facilities and sports complexes nearby. Visitors can easily walk to nearby amenities and explore the surrounding area on foot.
Among Hong Kong's Sam Shan Kwok Wong temples, this is the only one with statues of all three kings; the images were newly made for the temple's 2006 renovation, while other such temples hold a single image.
