Title A name given to the resource Hung Shing Temple, Chung Hing Street, Cheung Chau Wan, Cheung Chau Subject The topic of the resource Temple Description An account of the resource The temple is a Qing vernacular building of a two-hall-one-courtyard plan of three bays. The courtyard between the entrance and main halls has been covered. It is in symmetrical design with its altar in the middle of the end wall of the main hall facing the entrance. The building is constructed of green bricks with its walls and granite columns to support its pitched roofs of timber rafters, purlins and clay tiles. Its entrance has a platform on its left and right supported by a system of granite columns and brackets. Granite is with the door frame, entrance floor and wall bases. A keeper’s quarters was added to its right. The main ridge is with sets of Shiwan (石灣) opera figurines with two datings made in the 10th to 13th year of the Tongzhi (同治, 1871-1874) reign of the Qing (清) dynasty (as a Chinese character in 同治拾年 was missing) and the 23rd year of the Guangxu (光緒, 1897) reign of the same dynasty. The ridge-ends are each with a very special ornament having a tree with peacock feathers and flowers. On top of the figurines are a pair of aoyus (鰲魚) with a pearl in the middle. Above the doorway is the name board of the temple engraved on stone flanked by a pair of couplets. The front façade of the temple is also decorated with a fascia board of flowers and birds carvings.
