The Hung Shing Temple, Tai Kok Tsui (Chinese: 大角咀洪聖殿) or Hung Shing Temple, Fuk Tsun Street (福全街洪圣庙) is a Hung Shing Temple located at No. 58 Fuk Tsun Street (福全街),[1] in the Tai Kok Tsui area of Hong Kong. It is the only Hung Shing temple in urban Kowloon.[2]
History
The temple was originally built in 1881 in the village of Fuk Tsun Heung (福全鄉)[2] which was located at the intersection of Boundary Street and Tai Kok Tsui Road.[3] At the time of the 1911 census, the population of Fuk Tsun Heung was 861, the number of males was 610.[4]
In 1928, the Government developed the area and the Village was cleared.[3] In 1930, the temple was rebuilt at the present site, which was named after the Village, and it has since been managed by the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals,[5] by delegation from the Chinese Temples Committee.[1]
Conservation
The temple is listed as a Grade III historic building.[6]
