Hoi Sham Island (Шаблон:Zh), also called To Kwa Wan Island (Шаблон:Zh), was an island in Kowloon Bay off the coast of To Kwa Wan, Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong. It was connected to the mainland as a consequence of land reclamation, and it is now part of Hoi Sham Park (Шаблон:Zh).

History

The island was known by the locals for its distinctive shape of the rocks, some of them were given names, such as Hoi Sham Rock (Шаблон:Zh) and Fishtail Rock (Шаблон:Zh), and the island was believed to be a place of good feng shui. A Lung Mo Temple (Шаблон:Zh), also called Hoi Sham Temple (Шаблон:Zh), was originally built on the island at the foot of the rock.[1]

Upon reclamation of the bay of To Kwa Wan in the 1960s, the island was connected to the urban To Kwa Wan area,[1] and was converted into Hoi Sham Park in 1972. The Fishtail Rock and Hoi Sham Rock were preserved and are displayed in the park.

The temple was demolished in 1964[2] and the statue of Lung Mo (Шаблон:Zh) was relocated to the nearby Tin Hau Temple, built in 1885 and located at the corner of Ha Heung Road (Шаблон:Zh) and Lok Shan Road (Шаблон:Zh). In this temple, the statue of the Lung Mo is on the altar of the left bay (right side when viewed from the front).[3]
