Ching Chung Koon
Hi There,
Some suppliments.
The organization's website has a brief page about their origins. It is only available in Chinese.
http://www.ccta.com.hk/001_Introduction.htm
Their Taoist lineage (全真教) goes way back to the end of the Sung Dynasty. Also mentioned in historical documents as well as fictions like "Legend of the Condor Heroes". This branch came from Guangzhou though. According to their website, they started in 1950 somewhere in Wai Ching Street (a side street along Jordan Road, between Canton Road & Ferry Street).
They moved to 200 Nathan Road in 1952. The site in Kei Lun Wai was established in 1960 as their permenant location. It currently occupied three lots. TMTL 279 for Ching Chung Home for the aged, TMTL294 for the Ancestor Memorial Hall and their main building (including Chun Yang Hall, Altar of the Earth), & TMTL ext to 294 for the Ching Chung Taoist Association Builting.
Ching Chung Koon also has a presence in 164 Tai Nam Street, Kowloon. Charities and education instituts in their names could also be found in the Education, Elderly services & Medical service sectors.
