Lin Fa Temple
Lin Fa Temple or Lin Fa Kung is a temple located at the end of Lin Fa Kung Street, which is named after the temple, in the Tai Hang area in the southeastern part of Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island. It was originally built in 1863, during the Qing dynasty, and was reconstructed in 1986 and 1999. The original use of the temple was a worship place for Guanyin (also known as "Kwun Yam" in Cantonese), the goddess of mercy. Nowadays, it is a tourist attraction as well as a place for local people to celebrate traditional festivals including the Mid-autumn Festival, when the traditional Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance is held. Previously listed as a Grade I historic building, the Lin Fa Temple has been declared a monument.
