【Shatin】Hong Kong's most popular incense-Che Kung Temple

Transportation Tips - Take the East Rail Line to Tai Wai Station Exit B, and walk through Wai Fong Shopping Centre to reach Che Kung Temple. It is faster and more comfortable than walking directly to Che Kung Temple Station. The local attraction - Che Kung Temple was built to commemorate the great Southern Song general Che Da Yuanshuai, who escorted the Song emperor to flee south to Hong Kong in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty. The original inhabitants of Shatin built this temple 300 years ago. It is said that on the day it was completed, the plague that had been rampant suddenly disappeared. As soon as you step into the Che Kung Temple, you can see the righteous Che Kung elephant. The six-story-high Che Kung elephant stands very majestically, holding the magic sword in both hands. The believers look very small, which makes the elephant even more majestic. It happened to be Che Kung Festival that day, and what surprised me most was that many believers from Thailand came from far away to participate, showing their sincerity. Before leaving, turn the windmill and beat the drum three times to pray for good luck this year and for everything to go smoothly. #weekendtrip #familyfriendlyplace #HongKongcharacteristics
