40 Tai Ping Shan Street
Kwong Fook Tsz, also known as Pak Shing Temple, is located on Tai Ping Shan Street in Sheung Wan. It was built in 1895 with funds raised by Chinese elites. The temple houses soul tablets of Chinese workers who died in Hong Kong in the earlier years and enshrines deities including Ksitigarbha, Chai Kung, Shui Ching Pak and Tai Shui. In its early years, the temple also provided refuge and medical services for the sick, destitute and elderly, later contributing to the establishment of Tung Wah Hospital.
Kwong Fook Tsz adopts the three-hall-one-bay layout with two courtyards design, which is rare among Hong Kong temples. The Shiwan ceramics on the ridge of the entrance hall is the most prominent external architectural feature. The temple demonstrates the inseparable ties and cohesion among the Chinese community during the early period of Hong Kong and is of great historical significance.
Kwong Fook Tsz was declared a monument in 2026.
