About I Shing Temple

I Shing Temple, meaning 'temple of two gods', is dedicated to Hung Shing and Che Kung and serves the residents of six villages in Wang Chau. An inscription on its bell suggests it was built in 1718, and it is both a place of worship and a meeting place where villagers discuss important matters. It is a grey-brick, two-hall building with an open courtyard and a chamber on each side, restored in 1996, and it is one of the ritual sites for Wang Chau's Jiao Festival, held once every eight years.
