Sam Shing Temple

The Sam Shing Temple was built in 1914 and opened to the public in 1921. It is located well above the old coast line on a small hill, which once overlooked the bay. While it is an impressive old building, the inside is not particulary interesting. However, you will have a great view of the land that is now reclaimed. The temple is dedicated to three different religions and their sages, namely Confucius of Confucianism, Sakyamuni of Buddhism and Lao-tzu of Taoism, who are known as the three saints. This illustrates the syncratic nature of Chinese religions.
