Fung
Ying
Seen
Koon
is
an
important
and
beautiful
temple
complex
found
upon
a
hillside
slope,
right
outside
the
Fanling
MTR
Station.
It
is
open
from
8.30am
to
5pm
daily
and
includes
several
temples,
ancestral
halls,
canteen
and
other
facilities
that
can
be
wandered
to
enjoy
the
taoist
architecture,
decorative
craftsmanship
and
well
kept
temple
halls
and
grounds.
Impressive
features
include
the
main
Grand
Temple
found
in
the
centre
of
the
complex.
The
exterior
features
a
bright
orange
tiled
roof
and
red
pillars.
The
interior
is
relatively
bright
with
three
main
shrines
with
deity
figures.
You
will
see
others
painted
on
both
of
the
inner
side
walls
as
well
as
a
nice
ceiling
fresco
of
flying
egrets.
Within
the
grounds,
there
are
impressive
cauldrons
situated
along
the
stone
staircases,
a
lovely
large
scale
mural
on
the
lower
wall
to
the
left
of
the
Grand
Temple,
upper
level
ancestral
halls,
a
neat
collection
of
12
bronze
zodiac
creatures
and
porcelain
paintings
of
the
24
Filial
Exemplars
near
the
front
entrance
of
the
Fung
Ying
Seen
Koon
Temple
grounds.
Note:
The
Fung
Ying
Seen
Koon
Temple
grounds
are
easy
to
access
through
Fanling
Tau
MTR
Station
(Exit
B).
Just
cross
the
road
by
way
of
the
covered
overpass,
follow
the
signs
through
a
short
subway
under
another
and
you
will
pop
out
right
in
front
of
the
temple.
In
the
end,
might
not
be
worth
making
the
trip
all
the
way
to
Fanling
to
see
the
Fung
Ying
Seen
Koon
Temple
on
its
own.
However,
if
you
are
planning
to
do
the
self-guided
Lung
Yeuk
Heritage
Trail
in
Fanling
or
have
another
reason
to
be
in
the
area,
it
is
definitely
worth
making
time
to
see
while
there.
