I Shing Temple or I Shing Kung (Chinese: 二聖宮; lit. 'temple of two gods') is a temple in Tung Tau Wai, Wang Chau, Yuen Long District, Hong Kong. It is dedicated to Hung Shing and Che Kung.[1]

The temple was built in 1718 by the residents of six villages of Wang Chau: Sai Tau Wai, Tung Tau Wai, Lam Uk Tsuen, Chung Sum Wai, Fuk Hing Tsuen and Yeung Uk Tsuen.[1]

Conservation

A full restoration of the temple was undertaken by the Architectural Services Department in 1996. It was declared a monument the same year.[1]
