Che Kung Temple, Sha Tin.
The temple was built in honour of the General Che, a great general of Song Dynasty. It was said that during an epidemic that broke out in Sha Tin in late Ming Dynasty, residents of Sha Tin found out from historical writings that Che Kung was not only merited for his successful supression of the uprisings, he was also known for cleaning epidemics wherever he set foot in. People therefore built a temple to house Che Kung in Sha Tin.
