130-year-old Kwong Fook Tsz
As for Kwong Fook Tsz, originally called Kwong Fook I Tsz in the early decades and commonly known today as Pak Shing Temple, it was built in Sheung Wan in 1895.
Official documents noted that it is historically significant as it demonstrates the inseparable ties and cohesion among the Chinese community during the early British administration period and also stands as an embodiment of traditional Chinese beliefs about death.
The temple served as a place to house soul tablets for Chinese workers who passed away in Hong Kong. Apart from enshrining the main deity Ksitigarbha, the temple also houses deities and artifacts from other temples, including Chai Kung, Shui Ching Pak and Tai Sui.
