Small but interesting as it's built on huge bolders

Located in the neighborhood of Wanchai right in the middle of the commercial district is Hung Shing Temple. It's a small temple. You can get incense here by giving a donation. This isn't really for tourists but is a place of worship.

The marvels of this Chinese temple right in between a busy road caught my eye. It's an amazing piece of culture and heritage amidst a fast paced modern city. Stop by to take a photo but watch out for the heavy human and vehicle traffic. If you are entering the temple, keep your volume low and make a donation where you can to support preservation efforts.

Very nice. The Temple is one of the forty-two temples dedicated to Hung Shing in the HK. It was probably built in 1847. It is a beautiful place and picturesque. It is worth a visit.

The Hung Shing Temple in Wan Chai is one of the forty-two temples dedicated to Hung Shing in the Hong Kong. It was probably built in 1847. It is a beautiful place and picturesque. If you are in WanChai, visit it.

Cultural remnant of folk worship and ancestral shrine. Old photos of deceased clan members are inside. Seems to be one of the oldest remaining buildings in Wanchai and is classified as Grade 1 Historical site. Hope the Antiquities Board can maintain it better.

An interesting attraction to see in Wan Chai is the Hung Shing Temple. This is a Grade I historical building situated along the busy Queen's Road East. Opening hours 9am to 5pm daily. This temple started off as a simple shrine on top of shoreline rocks directly on the harbour. Later the first temple was constructed here around 1850. Massive land reclamations since that time have resulted in the temple now being in the busy urban and commercial area of Wan Chai while the harbour is now only found much further north. The temple is dedicated to Hung Shing, the protector of fisherman and sea traders. It is of typical 19h-century Chinese temple architecture, featuring grey brick walls, a simple entrance with a decorative porch and roof. The interior is a simple two hall structure with numerous deity figures, items of worship. Overall, the Hung Shing Temple is smaller and less impressive than others you may plan to visit around the city. However, it remains interesting and worth a quick look inside if you plan to spend time in the Wanchai area and enjoy seeing buildings of historical value during your travels.

Amazing place but only this house is amazing, around there is normal city area. Honestly speaking no value to visit only here as purpose of your visit Wan Chai. I recommend to visit Wan Chai for another purpose then visit there during your spare time. Outside of temple is historical artistic and inside ceremonious but small.
