Tai Hang Lin Fa Kung — Attraction in Hong Kong

Nearby is the Tai Hang Dragon Dance, an annual event held in the Tai Hang district, typically during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It’s easy to visit the area.

The dance itself involves a large dragon, approximately 67 meters long, made from straw and covered in incense sticks. A team of around 300 performers carry and manipulate the dragon through the narrow streets of Tai Hang, moving in rhythmic harmony to the sound of beating drums and clashing cymbals.

An interesting little temple that you can visit in Causeway Bay is the Lin Fa Kung Temple on Lin Fa Kung Street West, only a 5-6 minute walk from the more famous Tin Hau (Causeway Bay) Temple found near the Tin Hau MTR Station. The temple is open daily from 7.30am to 5.00pm and is free to visit.

The Lin Fa Kung Temple is a uniquely designed, small round shaped temple built in 1863 that is dedicated to Kwun Yum also known as the goddess of Mercy. There is only one main chamber room with a ground floor level room, filled with interesting items of worship and altar area as well as a small upstairs level where more statues of intrigue await, including hundreds of small lotus lamps lit under the statue of Kwun Yum. A large rock makes up part of the back wall and is prominently exposed from the upstairs section of the temple. This is interesting to locate and have a look at. Don't forget to look up because there is a very nice dragon fresco on the ceiling of the temple that is well worth taking a picture.

You can visit the Lin Fa Kung Temple in as little as 10-15 minutes and it makes a great addition to a visit to the nearby Tin Hau Temple, combined they can give you a sense of the religious affiliations many local people have with the deities of worship.
