Lin Fa Temple, Tai Hang – A Lotus of Serenity in the City

Lin Fa Temple, located in Tai Hang, is one of Hong Kong’s most elegant and architecturally unique temples. Built in 1863 and dedicated to Kwun Yum, the Goddess of Mercy, the temple sits gracefully on a raised platform shaped like a lotus flower — a symbol of purity in Buddhism. I was struck by its serene beauty and the intricate carvings that decorate its curved rooftop. Inside, you’ll find ancient statues, painted murals, and lanterns softly glowing in the dim light. The temple plays a central role in the famous Tai Hang Fire Dragon Festival, when the whole neighborhood comes alive with music, incense, and dance. Visiting outside of festival time, I enjoyed its quietness and the subtle smell of sandalwood in the air. Lin Fa Temple is a gentle reminder that even in one of the world’s busiest cities, peace and tradition still bloom. It’s a must-visit for anyone exploring old Hong Kong’s cultural soul.#hkonbudget
