|(See [[Hung Shing Temple, Wan Chai|detailed article]])<br>This Hung Shing Temple was constructed before 1847, and used to overlook the sea front.

Subsequent to a number of [[Land reclamation in Hong Kong|land reclamations]], it is now surrounded by modern commercial and residential buildings.

|The Hung Shing Temple and the adjacent Fuk Tak Temple were erected in 1980 and 1969 respectively. The Hung Shing Temple, originally located at Aldrich village, was moved to the present location when the village was demolished. The Fuk Tak Temple was moved from a place near the street end of the Shau Kei Wan Road to Chai Wan Road in the 1930s. After WWII, the Government developed the area near Chai Wan Road and the Temple was relocated to the present site.<ref>[http://www.aab.gov.hk/form/AAB_brief_info_en.pdf Introduction to 1444 Historic Buildings.
