Baogong Temple

Located in Fuqing street, sanbamen, Macao, Baogong temple, also known as Sleeping Buddha Temple, has been built for more than 200 years. It was built in 1889. At that time, the plague was prevalent in Macao, and the residents were superstitious about ghosts, so they invited the statue of Baogong from Foshan to sit in sanbamen. Later, the epidemic situation greatly reduced, and the residents believed that the gods suppressed the evil spirits, so they built a temple to worship Baogong. When the temple was rebuilt in 1989, Nanshan Temple, which had been hidden for many years, was accidentally discovered. Now the two temples are connected. The Nanshan Temple is dedicated to Zhong Kui. It will be closed for at least 70 years. It was built in 1895, about 6 years later than Baogong temple. In addition, there are a series of other deities in the temple, including Guanyin, Zhongkui and Sleeping Buddha.

When the temple was built, corruption was rampant in Hong Kong, and many unjust cases often occurred, so people in the community worshipped Bao Qingtian in the side hall of yuxu palace. It is said that the famous prosecutor, Anders, would pay homage to the Lord Bao every time he tried to redress his grievances. This is because people think that Lord Bao has a spirit, so incense is very popular in the temple.
