Wan Chai Hung Shing Temple

Wandering all the way from Central to the left and right, the purpose was to find the Wan Chai Post Office, but I saw this Hung Shing Old Temple first halfway.

Looking at the history, the Hongsheng Old Temple in Wan Chai was a Qing Dynasty building. It was already located here before the Opium War and has a history of more than 150 years. The ancient temple is not big, but compared with the surrounding urban development, it is really antique.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a small ancient temple on the bustling Queen’s Road, which saves building materials because the second half of it is a natural stone wall. When this small temple was built, it was still on the coast of Hong Kong, but from the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty to the present, Hong Kong’s reclamation construction has been developing step by step. This temple has moved from the beach to the most prosperous Queen’s Road. The location has never changed.

There is a small temple next to the lively Queen's Road. After entering, I found that the back wall of the small temple is a mountain wall, which is also a building material. During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, this temple was still a small temple on the seashore, but with the development of Hong Kong, more and more reclamation constructions have occurred. Now this temple is already on the lively Queen's Road, and its seat has never been moved.

The inconspicuous ancient temple, but the incense is very strong. Many believers come to pay respects on the 15th day of the Chinese New Year
