Sha Tin Che Kung Temple

We were there around 10am on Sunday Hong kong and there was no queue. Couple of small tour groups but inside the temple was not crowded. Unfortunately when we were there, the main statue and a couple was under maintenance. However, the temple uses AI image of the main statue, so we still got some sense of the size of the statue. The temple is very well kept, the staff speak several languages (but not fluently).

This temple feels very commercial—almost like a business built around belief. You get what you pay for, quite literally. It’s less about spiritual connection and more about hoping for quick rewards, especially wealth. Many people come here with the strong belief that praying and making offerings will help them get rich. You’ll see lots of people buying amulets and charms, hoping they’ll bring money, luck, and success. It’s fascinating how belief can be such a powerful motivator—when people believe something strongly enough, they’re willing to spend a lot for even the smallest chance of fortune. But at the same time, it makes you wonder: is belief enough? Or are we just buying hope? Personally, I believe that success still comes from effort, discipline, and hard work. Praying might bring peace of mind or motivation, but if you’re relying only on luck or blessings without action, it’s not likely to take you far. So while this place might be interesting to visit for its atmosphere and rituals, I’d recommend putting more faith in your own abilities—and using belief as inspiration, not a shortcut.

Been there during the construction but the temple still give you the vibe, visit around 4-5 pm will be lesss crowded

This temple seems to be popular among Thai people. Just as the rumors said, the temple’s signboard has both Chinese characters and Thai script, and there were many Thai visitors :)

Famous by called Che Kung temple. Most famous in Thai tourists to make the wish about work success or better life. Temple staffs can suggest you well and can suggest in Thai language also. Must not forget to rotate windmill and hit the drum. This temple need to walk from MTR station around 10 mins.

Peaceful and Meaningful Visit to Che Kung Temple Che Kung Temple is a wonderful place for blessings and a truly relaxing experience. The atmosphere is peaceful, and I felt a strong sense of positivity and good fortune for the future. The temple staff were very 🙏🌈😇

Beautiful temple and a must-visit spot. Easy to communicate and welcoming for Thai people. Great place to pray and experience culture.

Just visited Che Kung Temple early of June and wanted to share my experience! For anyone thinking of heading there, rest assured, it's super easy to get to via the MTR. I hopped on the Tuen Ma Line and got off right at Che Kung Temple Station (Exit B). From there, it's just a short, pleasant walk to the temple grounds. No complicated transfers or long bus rides needed. Avoid taxi from Tsim Sha Sui because it is very expensive. And for those of you who might have heard whispers about construction, I can happily report that the main temple area is NOT under major construction at this moment.
