港島大坑蓮花宮大概建於1863年,用以供奉觀音。
蓮花宮的建築非常獨特,設有重檐攢尖頂的前殿呈八角形,與長方形正殿之間沒有天井。由於廟宇坐落於山坡,前殿需建於一個拱式石砌平台上。通往廟宇的入口階梯設於前殿左右兩側,與傳統正門設在正面中央有所不同。
蓮花宮於2014年列為古蹟。背境是山上圓柱形的勵德邨公屋。
Lin Fa (Lotus) Temple in Tai Hang on Hong Kong Island was probably built in 1863 to worship Kwun Yam, Goddess of Mercy.
The architecture of the Lotus Temple is very unique. The front hall with the heavy eaves and spires is octagonal, and there is no patio between it and the rectangular main hall. Since the temple is located on a hillside, the front hall needs to be built on an arched stone platform. The entrance stairs to the temple are located on the left and right sides of the front hall, which is different from the traditional main entrance in the front centre.
Lotus Temple was listed as a monument in 2014. Lai Tak Tsuen, a cylindrical-shaped public housing estate, is uphill in the background.
