In 1899 the original Wong
Tai Sin Temple was built in Fangcun. It was frequently
visited by residents of Guangzhou and Guangdong
Province to pay their respects to this Taoist God.
Although the building was later destroyed, the artifacts
of the stone plaques, stone pillars and delicate
handcarvings recall the impressive design of the
architect. A follower of Wong Tai Sin migrated to
Hong Kong and rebuilt the Temple on the southern
slope of the Lion Rock in 1921. Since then the Temple
in Hong Kong has been crowded with local and overseas
worshippers all year round.
The project for the re-construction of the Wong
Tai Sin Temple in Guangzhou was supported by the Provincial,
Municipal and District Governments as well as the
local and overseas Chinese community. Canada Land
Limited, Hong Kong, financed the reconstruction
of the Wong Tai Sin Temple on the original site in Fangcun.
After two years of planning and design, the ground-breaking
took place on November 9, 1997. Phase I of the Project
was finally completed and opened to public on February
6, 1999 with 130,000 visitors.
Wong Tai Sin Project is made up of the Wong Tai
Sin Main Hall, the Kuanyin Hall, the Master Lu Hall,
the Hall of Confucius, God of Money, Kuanti and
