A large Taoist temple in the Kowloon residential district of Wong Tai Sin, this complex was established in 1921 and is dedicated to the deity Huang Daxian, believed to have healing powers. The temple compound includes fortune-telling booths, ancestral halls, and a formal Chinese garden. It draws one of the largest regular worship crowds of any temple in Hong Kong and is especially active around the Lunar New Year.
