Shing Wong

Wikipedia

 
Shing Wong (城隍) is a deity in Chinese mythology, responsible for the affairs of the city.

A temple is located at the junction of Shau Kei Wan Street East and Kam Wa Street, in Hong Kong. The temple was built in 1877 and originally named "Fook Tak Tsz"(福德祠). This gives a feeling that there is a "temple in a temple" (廟內有廟). With the advantage of being conveniently located near the Shau Kei Wan Tram Terminal, the temple is frequented by many local residents.

Deities To Ti (土地), Shing Wong, Ng Tung (五通神) are enshrined in the temple. Deity To Ti is in change of earth and is also called "Fook Tak Kung" (福德公). Deity Ng Tung is in charge of wealth, time, as well as good fortune.
