Huangdi Temple in Hong Kong

Huangdi Temple is located in On Lok Tsuen, Fanling, New Territories, Hong Kong (18 Lung Yeuk Tau Section, Sha Tau Kok Road), facing Luen Wo Hui. Originally known as the “Xuanyuan Ancestral Hall,” it was built in 1925 and served as a communal temple for worship and discussions among villagers of various surnames in Fanling, North District, New Territories, as well as functioning as Sun Nong School (a primary school). The temple was funded and demolished for reconstruction by the Tang clan of Lung Yeuk Tau, New Territories, in 2000, with the foundation laid in mid-2001 and the reconstruction completed by mid-2005. It was officially renamed “Huangdi Temple” and is the first large-scale memorial structure dedicated to the Yellow Emperor (Xuanyuan Huangdi) in southern China.

Covering an area of 10,000 square feet and standing seven stories tall, the temple houses solemn and lifelike statues that carry on traditional religious culture, integrating Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. It includes the “Xuanyuan Hall” for worshipping the Yellow Emperor, the “Shennong Hall” for the Flame Emperor, the “Dacheng Hall” for Confucius, as well as Buddhist deities such as the “Three Jewels Buddha” and “Four Great Bodhisattvas,” and Taoist halls including the “Three Pure Ones Hall” and “Three Sages Hall.” The temple also provides “cremation niche spaces” and “ancestral spirit tablet spaces” for worshippers to pay their respects.
