Visit Sung Chu Temple - 崇珠閣 in North Point

Nestled above the famous Kai Yuen Terrace in North Point sits Sung Chu Temple. Sung Chu stands tall not only next to the famous Kai Yuen neighborhood (the writer Eileen Chang - 张爱玲 once lived there) but also the new developments popping up around it. The temple is a beautiful example of the kinds of sacred spaces that served the area when North Point was known as Little Shanghai and are sadley slowly dissappearing.

Sung Chu has been heroically maintained despite redevelopment, harassment from neighbors, and other surprising issues not often associated with places of worship. There are several important Buddhist and Daoist religious statues there including a very special Tantric Yamantaka - 密宗 大威德金剛 Statue. Sacred Spaces will be honored with a private tour by the second generation temple keeper Ms. Theresa Kong whose family built the temple and remain its guardians.

This is an exclusive chance for our members to not only visit a lesser-known and no less important Buddhist Temple but also to meet the amazing people who heroically keep these religious sites in good order.
