A combination of three religions thus becomes a distinguish feature of Wong Tai sin Temple. The architecture of the temple has been classified as a Grade 2 historical building. At 2008, with the commencement of the two-years “Wong Tai Sin Temple Main Altar Refurbishment and Yuen Sun Hall Erection Project”, the Main Altar is temporary moved to Fung Ming House inside the Temple for the worship of Master Wong Tai Sin. On February 2010, the project completed with the Main Altar moved back and Master Wong Tai Sin returned, and the Praying Platform reopened. Then, in 2020, Taisui Yuanchen Hall was also refurbished with additional fairy polychrome fresco inside.
