The temple is located on Ruzhou Street. It was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty and is now a Grade II historical building in Hong Kong. Who is the third prince? It is Nezha, a familiar character in mythology. It is currently the only temple in Hong Kong dedicated to Nezha as its main god. The reason why the temple was originally built was because of the plague in Hong Kong. The residents invited this god from Huizhou to help. The couplet on the gate can be seen that "If a god can drive away the plague, his merits will bring prosperity to the people, so he will be worshiped." In the story, Nezha was originally a naughty child, but later he was transformed and became a god. Therefore, many parents who want their children to become successful are attracted to this temple to worship, and later other deputy gods were added. The Golden Flower Queen protects the love of couples and the safety of pregnant women. After the child is born, you can pray to Tai Sui every year for blessing. After going to school, you can pray to Emperor Wenchang. The temple will also hold a Wenchang opening ceremony in the ninth month of the new year every year. There is also a giant tree in the temple. "Ziwei Wenchang Brush" is used for ritual purposes. Moreover, every year on Guanyin's birthday, you can borrow money from the Guanyin Empress in the temple to pay your tuition; if you have any disputes, you can report it to Uncle Bao; if you have any illness, Hua Tuo can help, which can be said to be a one-stop service.
