Existing temples

There are several Hung Shing Temples in Hong Kong, including 6 on Lantau Island[2] and one only in urban Kowloon.[3] The table provides a partial list of these temples. Hung Shing Festivals (洪聖誕) are celebrated on the 13th day of the 2nd month in Chinese calendar at the Hung Shing Temples in Ap Lei Chau,[4] Tai Kok Tsui,[3] Cheung Chau,[4] Sha Lo Wan[5] and Kau Sai Chau.[6][7]

Note 1: A territory-wide grade reassessment of historic buildings is ongoing. The grades listed in the table are based on these updates (8 June 2023). The temples with a "Not listed" status in the table below are not graded and do not appear in the list of historic buildings considered for grading.
Note 2: While most probably incomplete, this list is tentatively exhaustive.
