Wun Chuen Sin Koon, Ping Che - 雲泉仙館, 坪輋
|
Wun Chuen Sin Koon a Taoist temple worshipping Master Lu Chunyang and its traditions originate in Xiqiao,
Guangdong province. Forced to start a new life in Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation of China in 1938, the
Taoist monks started constructing a replica of their temple in Xiqiao, the design of which resembles that of ancient
palaces.
Wun Chuen Sin Koon's large area is mainly a garden zone with lotus ponds, traditional bridges, miniature gardens
and exquisite carvings. However, the temple also holds a number of columbaria.
The temple has developed gradually over the past 75 years and the impressive current main hall dates back to 1975
only. The temple is funded entirely by private donations.
The temple gets rather busy on week-ends with local tourists coming to enjoy vegetarian food and buy bonsai trees.
Every autumn since 1986, the temple puts on special chrysanthemum exhibitions.
