=======================
Tam Kung (Chinese: 譚公; lit. 'Lord Tam') or Tam Tai Sin (譚大仙) is a sea deity worshiped in Hong Kong and Macau.
In Chinese folk legends, Tam Kung was one of gods who could forecast the weather. He was born in Huizhou Prefecture. It was said that he could cure patients in his childhood. Tam Kung became an immortal in heaven at the age of twenty in the Nine-dragon Mountain in Huizhou. He was officially deified during the Qing dynasty. People whose ancestral home are in Huizhou or Chaoshan of Guangdong province worship Tam Kung most sincerely.
There's more information about the temple on the Chinese Temples Committee website.
Ken Raby's book, Hong Kong Temples, says "The main temple complex in Sai Kung built around 1872 is dedicated to Tin Hau and Kwan Kung."
The Ancient Temple of Shang-ti (Shang-ti Ku-miao) was situated on the western side of the present Lomond Road, behind the St. Theresa Hospital . The original temple was near the former Ma-tau-wei Village directly east of the present site. When the villagers were evacuated by the government and the whole village was levelled to construct new roads and buildings in 1927-28, the temple was destroyed and a new temple was constructed at the present site. Later on, the new temple was also demolished but the stone gate was preserved, the name of the temple remaining.
