Temple
Description
Part of a cluster of 6 temples built on a flattened hilltop by the Shau Kei Wan Kaifong Advancement Association (筲箕灣街坊福利促進會), it is adjacent to a Fuk Tak Temple. Originally located at Aldrich Village (愛秩序村), it was moved to the present location when the village was demolished.
The first temple cluster is on Kaung Ngam village road. easy to spot. it is all vermilion on a little platform in the middle of the road. more like a common altar as the structure is a bit rough, compare to the usual elaborate buildings of traditional temple. the main goddess worshiped here is wong-mo-neong-neong (in cantonese) who is the heavenly empress in chinese folklore.
There are more than one god and goddess under one roof. as the sign shows. People can also pay their respect to goddess of mercy, the five thunder gods and great sage of the buddha and shing wong lord.
If you see Shau Kei Wan jockey club clinic, you can then spot a temple right above just look at its back up on the hill. The old Aldrich Village was built there. You can still find a big notice board of the village at the beginning of the staircase.
