Kwan Kung Pavilion (Jyutping: gwaan1 gung1 zung1 ji6 ting4) is a temple on Cheung Chau island in Hong Kong. It was built in 1973,[1] and is dedicated to the Martial God of War and Wealth, Kwan Tai (also transliterated as Lord Guan or Kwan Kung). His Sabre, The Kwan Dou, is also displayed in the Kwan Kung Pavilion.
The temple contains an eight-feet-tall Kwan Tai statue crafted from a whole piece of camphor wood.[1] There is an incense burner with two dragons in front of the pavilion.[2]
