The Yue Lao Hall will be closed from March 17 for the new hall construction

The "Statues of Yuelao and Couples" were established in 2011 with the intention of blessing the good fortune of worshippers and wishing all lovers in the world to be married. Over the years, the Yuelao Hall has been warmly welcomed by devotees from various places, including local, national, and international visitors. However, due to years of use, the hall's facilities have gradually aged. In response to requests from devotees, the Yuen has decided to rebuild a new hall on the original site of the Yuelao Hall at the Fung Ming Hall Plaza, in order to provide a better environment and experience for worshippers. Construction is scheduled to commence on 17 March and is expected to be completed by mid-October 2025.

During the construction period, the Yuelao Hall will be temporarily closed for worship, commencing from Monday, 17 March until the completion of the new hall. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Please stay tuned and support upcoming activities at Wong Tai Sin Temple.

Peony Blessing Lamp

A peony blessing lamp will be set up in the Taisui Yuenchen Hall this year like usual, for worshippers to claim their enshrinement and pray to the Goddess of the Great Dipper for prosperity, happiness and good luck. The lamp is one of the “five offerings” of Taoism. It is capable of releasing light and represents the divine light. The blessing lamp is made in the shape of a peony to borrow the grace and nobility of the peony. After worshippers complete the registration, they can choose to enshrine the glass peony blessing lamp in the Taisui Yuenchen Hall or take it home for worship. The purification ritual for the peony blessing lamps was completed on the first day of the first month of the Lunar calendar. Amid chanting, the blessing lamps are lit for the worshippers on the first and fifteenth day of each month thereafter. Worshippers can also come to Sik Sik Yuen to light the lamps personally to pray for safety and good fortune.
