Che Kung Temple, Ho Chung, Sai Kung

Situated on the bank of Ho Chung River, the Che Kung Temple has a history of over 400 years. It honours Che Kung, a great marshal of the Sung Dynasty (960 - 1279 AD) who suppressed a revolt in Southern China and was later deified by the Taoist religion. Che Kung followed the last emperor of the Sung Dynasty to go south to Hong Kong and stationed in Sai Kung. He was highly respected and loved by the villagers for he loved them as if they were his own children. After his death, the villagers built the temple in memory of the marshal, to worship him, his father and his son.
