Wong Tai Sin Temple

Wong Tai Sin Temple was built in 1921 by Sik Sik Yuen, (also named Sik Sik Yuen). Before the establishment of Sik Sik Yuen, the Taoist monks Liang Ren-yian, Liang Jun-zhuan and Qiao Zi brought the idol of Wong Tai Sin to Hong Kong from the shrine in Xi Qiao,Guangdong in 1915, and was placed in Wanchai for six years. It was not until 1921 when the disciples established Sik Sik Yuen and the idol was moved to Chuk Yuen. Wong Tai Sin was a shepherd boy who lived in Red Pine Hill in the Zhejiang province. His family was poor, and he began shepherding when he was eight years old. At the age of fifteen, he was taught by an immortal, and became a "Red Pine Immortal" after some forty years. In recent years,Wong Tai Sin Temple had many worshippers. The offerings were used for education and free medical service in order to help the poor, contributing a great deal to society.
