A Half-Day at Fat Jong Temple in Tsz Wan Shan

Tsz Wan Shan's Fat Jong Temple is an easy one to overlook next to Wong Tai Sin. According to the 18 Districts local-travel listing, it was founded in 1948, rebuilt in the 1980s, and sits on Sha Tin Pass Road by the eastern slope of Lion Rock, so it is a city-side temple with fairly convenient access.

The listing describes a three-hall layout with the Heng Ha, Heavenly Kings, Skanda, Mahavira, Guanyin and Sangharama halls, housing many Buddha images. It also notes the temple draws plenty of worshippers. A half-day visit pairs well with the nearby Sha Tin Pass Road hiking trail. Check transport via HKeMobility and confirm opening details with the operator before you go.

Editor’s noteA city temple plus a short hike makes a tidy half-day; confirm opening details before setting out.
