Che Kung Temple, Ho Chung, Sai Kung 位於西貢蠔涌的車公廟

Situated on the bank of Ho Chung River, the Che Kung Temple has a history of over 400 years. It honours Che Kung, a great marshal of the Sung Dynasty (960 - 1279 AD) who suppressed a revolt in Southern China and was later deified by the Taoist religion. Che Kung followed the last emperor of the Sung Dynasty to go south to Hong Kong and stationed in Sai Kung. He was highly respected and loved by the villagers for he loved them as if they were his own children. After his death, the villagers built the temple in memory of the marshal, to worship him, his father and his son.蠔涌車公廟坐落蠔涌河河畔,已有400多年歷史。廟內供奉的車公,相傳是宋朝(公元960至1279年)的一位大元帥,曾平定華南一場叛亂,後來蒙道教奉為神明。他跟隨宋帝昺南下來港,駐守西貢。由於他愛民若子,深受村民尊敬和愛戴。他逝世後,村民為了紀念他,便建立這廟供奉他祖孫三代。
