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.

Worshipping the Great Dipper

Worshipping the Great Dipper is performed to worship the gods of the celestial mansions, and it originated from the ancients’ worship of the stars. The Book of the Five Dippers, a classic upon which the Taoist worship of the stars is based on, already existed when Zhang Daoling founded his Taoist sect in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Later, the Taoist sect gradually compiled the scriptures on the worship of various constellations and celestial mansions, and worshipped the Great Dipper in particular. Sik Sik Yuen's worship of the Great Dipper is based on ancient Taoist books. In November 2006, Sik Sik Yuen held a ritual ceremony to worship the Great Dipper in the Wong Tai Sin Square for the first time, bringing back a ritual that had been lost to the world for hundreds of years.
