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. This temple is particularly busy during Kwun Yum festival as well as the Mid-Autumn festival periods.

Temple with a special fortune teller. The fortune teller can read your character and future from your birth time and Chinese Zodiac. The fortune teller you need to get a ticket in the early morning which they roughly give out 20 tickets. Once they are gone then you cannot see the fortune teller. Many people from all over HK specifically come to visit the fortune teller. He charges $300 HKD. He is known for career advice. For tourists this is a great place to visit whilst you are in Tai Hang.

a lovely temple but such a shame that the heavy pollution from the burning papers totally chokes the air of the park and neighbourhood around. have even seen the people running the temple just burning waste there - total disrespect for the Hk environment sadly and adds the cities serious clean air crisis! still caught burning trash (no customers around) ruining the air around Tai Hang - no consideration for the locals. Management need to be accountable for this.

Quite unusual With mezzanine floor inside. Very busy and full of Chi. This temple was once very near the coast, so it's lights would have reflected in the water. Well worth visit before lunching in this charming little suburb, which has some old dwellings that predate WWI. The new gentry have opened many attractive coffee and food outlets.

I'm glad I could visit this charming little octogonal buddhist temple with an active community. It's full of burning incense, there was a reknowed fortune teller on duty several days a week. My guide explained to me some of the rituals I could see occuring before my eyes , which was really interesting.

Lin Fa Temple has a very unique architecture which the front hall is half-octagonal shape and the back of the temple is built on a giant boulder (aka lotus rock). This place is the starting point of the fire dragon dance in the Mid Autumn Festival.
