Lin Fa Kung, Tai Hang

It was said that Kwun Yum had been seen appearing near the huge rock (Lotus Rock) where the temple locates. The followers therefore built a temple near the rock to worship Kwun Yum. Though small in size, the temple is unique structurally. The front part of the temple stands on a terrace supported by pillars of 10-12 feet in height. The rear part lies on a huge rock which is now covered by the external wall. Part of the rock can be seen in the temple. Apart from its unique design, the temple also has fresco of dragons on the ceiling which is relating to the annual fire dragon dance show that takes place in Tai Hang. During Mid-Autumn Festival, eye-dotting of the fire dragon is carried out inside the temple before the dragon dance begins. Another unique sight of the temple is the hundreds of lotus lamps that are lighted in the chamber. Apart from Kwun Yum (Goddess of Mercy), the temple also houses Tai Sui (Sixty Gods of Time), Wai Tor (Buddhist Temple Guardian) and Choi Sun (God of Wealth). This temple was originally built in 1846. It assumed its present outlook in 1863 and was re-built by the Chinese Temples Committee in 1986.
