The message side of this postcard, bought new in Hong Kong during 1997, says that it is a “Postcard From Hong Kong”. Mention is also made of “Yuk Wong Din” – Jade Emperor’s Palace - 玉皇殿; and these appear to be the three characters, read from right to left, that are over the top of the entranceway.
Mention is also made of statues of deities, which are 25 ft. (7.6 m.) tall; so I am assuming that the building housing them might be quite large.
Does anyone in the Gwulo Community recognize this temple?

Thank you "sw.ho"
Thank you Gwulo Community colleague “sw.ho” for so kindly identifying that temple for us; and for so thoughtfully providing the link to that informative YouTube footage, which at roughly 3-37 mins into the clip, shows a view of the same entranceway as it appeared in about 2021.
