Pak Tai Temple at Wan Chai

Pak Tai Temple (CN: 灣仔北帝廟) was built by Wan Chai residents in 1863 and was originally known as Yuk Hui Kung temple. It is the largest temple on Hong Kong Island consisting of three halls and housing a three-metre tall copper cast of Pak Tai which dates back to 1604 along with two copper bells that were cast in the mid to late 1800’s. It’s a recommended place to visit.
