Shui Yuet Temple, Shan Tung Street

Grading: Grade 3 Historic Building

Shui Yuet Temple, formerly known as "Tai Shek Ku", and also known as "Tai Shek Ku Temple" or "Tai Shek Ku Shui Yuet Kung", was built around 1884 using donations from the Hakka villagers of Mong Kok, Ho Man Tin and the surrounding areas. It was relocated to the current site in 1926 due to road development and its management was handed over to Kwong Wah Hospital in 1928. It was accorded historic building status (Grade 3) in 2010. During the renovation in 2018, a Kwun Yam copper fan bearing the inscription "donated by the villagers and female worshippers of Mong Kok village" was found. The fan signifies the close connection between Shui Yuet Temple and the residents of Mong Kok. Shui Yuet Temple is currently managed by the TWGHs under a commission from the Chinese Temples Committee.
