Lok Fu is part of the Wong Tai Sin District in Kowloon. Kowloon is densely packed: Nathan Road runs north from Tsim Sha Tsui towards Prince Edward, lined along with its side streets by shops, restaurants and upstairs businesses, and most places are a few minutes' walk from an MTR station. Mong Kok's street markets, Sham Shui Po's electronics and fabric streets and Kowloon City's Thai restaurants are familiar landmarks for shopping and eating. Octopus works on the MTR, buses, minibuses, ferries and trams; heading to Lok Fu, check the street map inside the MTR station to find the nearest exit.

I really great hidden gem in this part of Kowloon. It is almost like a window into the old world of Hong Kong; a less fast paced, commercialized place. This small yet mighty temple has really attentive and helpful staffers. Highly recommended getting the incenses at the front desk and they will walk you though the "proper" way to honor the gods.

This is not your typical temple such as 天后宮. This tiny place of worship is actually worth a visit if you are near the Kowloon City Park. There are multiple artifacts displayed here as old as the artifacts seen in Kowloon City, if not older. It's really quiet, and the staff members here are very passionate about the culture and history of this temple.

Was here June 2024. Place not busy. Stumbled onto this place by accident. Didn't even know who this person was until I walk in and ask. People there was very friendly.

If you are over in Kowloon City the Hau Wong temple is worth a visit. Being the main temple in the area, it is also one of the very few in Hong Kong that has such a rich collection of artifacts. Entry is free and just remember to respect your surroundings. Worth a look.

One of the older temples in Hong Kong. No MTR Stations nearby but it's also very close to the Kowloon City Walled Park making it with the effort.

There are several Hau Wong Temples to be found in Hong Kong but this one is probably the most famous. The Hau Wong Temple in Kowloon City was built in 1730 and rests on Junction Road half way between the Lok Yu MTR station and the Kowloon Walled City Park. It is a Grade 1 historical building and makes a nice quick stop for those planning to visit the Kowloon Walled City. There is disagreement as to the origins of this temple. However, the prevailing belief is that the temple commemorates a Chinese general, 'Hau Wong' Yeung Leung-jit, who helped the last emperor of the Song Dynasty by providing him refuge in Kowloon, averting invading forces in search of him. Hau Wong Temple has cultural artefacts including attractive wall reliefs and Chinese calligraphy. Also, the main hall contains images of Hau Wong as well as chambers which are well decorated. The temple is quite small and can be comfortably visited in 10-15 minutes, making it convenient to see before or after your visit to the nearby Kowloon Walled City Park. Overall, this Hau Wong decent temple visit but there are better temple visits in the area. These include Wong Tai Sin (Wong Tai Sin - MTR) and the Chi Lin Nunnery (Diam
