Government gazettes Wan Chai Hung Shing Temple and Stanley Mosque as declared monuments

The government has gazetted two Grade I historic buildings as declared monuments, including Hung Shing Temple in Wan Chai, which has stood for nearly 180 years, and Stanley Mosque, which is about 90 years old. An assessment by the Antiquities and Monuments Office found that Hung Shing Temple's architectural design blends with the natural rocks and adopts a two-sided entrance and exit layout rarely seen in traditional local temples, while Stanley Mosque is one of only two pre-Second World War Islamic religious buildings surviving in Hong Kong.
