Che Kung Temple in Shatin is a popular temple

Che Kung Temple, located on the banks of the Shing Mun River in Tai Wai, Sha Tin, is one of the most popular temples in Hong Kong. Due to its age, it is impossible to trace when the original temple was built. The current Che Kung Temple for devotees to worship was built in the 1990s in front of the original temple. The temple enshrines Che Da Yuanshi, a great general of the Song Dynasty who is said to be able to eliminate plague. The second day of the first lunar month every year is Che Kung's birthday, so during the Chinese New Year, many people go there to worship and pray. During this period, there is a market outside the temple selling incense, candles and various prayer items, which is very lively. Transportation: It is about a 5-10 minute walk from Che Kung Temple Station or Tai Wai Station on the MTR Tuen Ma Line. #LocalTours #ShatinGoodPlaces #CheKungTemple
