The joss stick is on your left … but according to what u want .. then write name/ address/ date of birth at the next counter .. proceed to have your joss stick lighted… then insert the big joss in the incense container . Then walk to hve 3 joss at the small altar beside where you write name … then 3 stick each at the incense container where you plce the big joss… the rest of the joss stick plce at container before you enter the temple of the deity( pleae only bring 3 joss) in .. then pray… spin the wind mill… beat the drum 3 time .. plce the paper into the continue for them to help U burn … then that’s all .. they not allow photo taking inside the temple .. too bad .

    Other than wong tai sin, che kung temple is the famous famous temple in hong kong where che kung is a soldier general who was known to help virus spread out, perhaps he may help covid too. Besides, there are iron fan which turn clockwise to strength your luck, if anti clockwise move to turn your back luck away. There are also many fortunate tellers can hire

    Very cool and respectful temple. History and authenticity makes this a very interesting and worthwhile attraction to visit. A unique experience to visit such a holy location. I wish they had a pamphlet in English to educate us more on the history and significance of this temple. Otherwise it was worth the trip.

    Faithful temple for those who would like to make a wish. Good that they don't allow incense for indoor, but you can make a wish with incense at the outdoor Pot.

    Che Kung Miu (traditional Chinese: 車公廟; simplified Chinese: 车公庙; pinyin: Chēgōng Miào; Jyutping: ce1 gung1 miu6), also called Che Kung Temple, are temples dedicated to Che Kung, who was a general during the Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279) in imperial China. He is believed by some worshipers to have been involved in the attempt to keep the Song state alive by bringing Prince Ping and his brother to the South.[1] There are two temples dedicated to Che Kung in Hong Kong: one in Sha Tin and one in Ho Chung.[2][3] Other temples in Hong Kong are partly dedicated to Che Kung.

    Rainy day in the morning make this place feel fresh and less people. The official staff here can listen/speak Thai. There're a shrine behind the Che Kung which may give you a bless.

    Che Kung Temple is a peaceful place with lots of trees and a river nearby. The weather is nice, so it’s not too hot, and you can enjoy the calm scenery. The temple looks amazing, and the people working there speak English and Thai. It’s not as big as some other famous temples, but many say this temple is special for bringing good luck and money to those who pray here.

    Weekday in the evening (close 18.00 pm) Not so many people. You can buy some merit set at the entrance, price from 30-100+ HKD. Then there are some steps for praying to Che Kung General. Anyway, don't forget to turn the Golden Wind Mill inside the temple, from Left to Right or clockwise rotation to open your destiny to get more luck and good things. Then hit the drumps for 3 times each side. Anyone whi wants to buy Windmill fetish can but them at the entrance but there are quite pricy, around 300-400 HKD prr piece.

    A Chinese temple dedicated to Che Kung 車公, whose legend traced back to a Song Dynasty general who was took care of rebellions and epidemics. During the Late Ming Dynasty (15-16th century), a smaller temple was built for Che Kung 車公. In 1994, the present temple was built in front of the original temple.

    It's a small temple by the Sing Mun river. A very popular place for worshippers, so it's quieter on the weekdays. Inside of the temple is a very impressive Statue and decorations. They sell incense & souvenirs at the entrance. Also fortune tellers outside of the temple are ready at your service.
