Tam Kung

Tam Kung became an immortal in heaven at the age of twenty in the Nine-dragon Mountain in Huizhou.

People whose ancestral home are in Huizhou or Chaoshan of Guangdong province worship Tam Kung most sincerely.

This temple was built in 1901 after the previous one located on a slope near the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital in Happy Valley, in the former Wong Nai Chung Village,[4] was demolished during urban development.

According to a story, Tam Kung appeared to a young boy in a dream and guided him to the present site, which was regarded as selected by the deity for the new location of the temple.

The Tam Tai Sin Temple (譚大仙廟), in Sha Tau, Tung Ping Chau was built around 1877.

[8] Many early residents of Tung Ping Chau were from Shantou and they kept the tradition of worshipping Tam Kung after they settled on the island.

[9] The Temple celebrates the Tam Kung Festival on the 8th day of the fourth Lunar month.

[11] The statue there was originally kept in a wooden box at Market Square, and it was moved to the temple by its keeper after Tam Kung appeared to him in a dream.
