Lin Fa Temple, Tai Hang

Lin Fa Kung (meaning the Lotus Temple) in Tai Hang was built in 1863. The temple was so named because the building is designed like a lotus, and it is dedicated to the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, Kwun Yum. Kwun Yum was the daughter of King Subhavyuha. Later, she cultivated herself according to the Buddhist doctrine, and was named "Pu-Sa" (Buddhisattra). The Kwun Yum Festival is celebrated every 19th day of the second, sixth, ninth and eleventh lunar months.
