 Dominating
the
skyline
from
its
commanding
site
on a
hillside
overlooking
the
New
Territories
town
of
Fanling,
the
Fung
Ying
Seen
Koon
is a
superb
example
of
Taoist
design
and
craftsmanship. |
|
|
|
Its
massive
orange-tiled
double
roof,
built
to
traditional
design
and
supported
by
stout
red
pillars
of
stone,
immediately
catches
the
eye,
almost
beckoning
the
visitor
to
step
up
to
its
entrance
and
inspect
the
many
examples
of
artistic
craftsmanship
to
be
found
within
its
grounds. |
|
|
|
The
magnificent
main
hall
of
the
Koon
(Temple)
stands
amidst
numerous
pavilions
and
towers,
all
combining
to
present
an
enchanting
picture-postcard
scene
from
the
China
of
yesteryear.
Other
features
include
a
large
pavilion
in
the
garden,
where
vibrant
flowerbeds
and
miniature
bridges
add
a
further
magical
touch
to
the
scene. |

The
Fung
Ying
Seen
Koon
was
founded
as
an
affiliate
of
the
Dragon
Gate
sect
of
the
Complete
Perfection
Lineage.
In
the
early
days
of
the
Fung
Ying
Seen
Koon,
the
buildings
were
dilapidated
and
the
equipment
they
used
was
simple
and
crude.
Later,
in
1929,
through
generous
donations
of
Daoist
directors,
the
Eastern
Hall
was
built
as a
Quiet
Chamber
for
Cultivating
the
Dao. |
