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.

First Writing Ceremony

Sik Sik Yuen has always cared about helping students grow healthily and hopes to help students establish a correct outlook on life and values through the dissemination of traditional Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism culture. As the “First Writing Ceremony (Enlightened by Confucius)” held in 2018 was very popular, the Yuen decided to hold another “First Writing Ceremony” in 2019 to grant students the blessings of Master Wong Tai Sin and the enlightenment of Confucius.

In Chinese tradition, the “First Writing Ceremony” is an enlightenment ceremony held for children when they start their literacy learning. It is of great significance to new students and their parents, and symbolizes the beginning of a new journey in their life. Unlike the “First Writing Ceremony” held by those who worship Taoist deities such as Emperor Wen Chang, the “First Writing Ceremony” of Wong Tai Sin Temple is the first Taoist ceremony in Hong Kong that focuses on worshipping Confucius. The meaning of the “Six Arts and Five Virtues of Confucianism”, the “virtues of establishing oneself in the world”, etc., are explained to students and their parents through a Taoist writing ritual ceremony. This ceremony is held not only to pray for students to be among the best, but also for them to pay attention to the principles of being a person, self-cultivation, and morality, as well as to instill a positive outlook of life in students.
