It is said that Tam Kung was called Tam Tak and became an immortal in heaven at the age of 13. He was deified by fishermen for his capability of controlling the forces of nature, especially by fishermen in Guangdong Province, who built temples to worship him. In the early years of Hong Kong's opening up, many stonemasons in Huizhou were drawn to Hong Kong by its huge demand for stones. In the process, the belief in Tam Kung was introduced into Hong Kong, as a result of which, a number of Tam Kung temples were built, with the Tam Kung Temple in Shau Kei Wan being the oldest.

Built in the 31st year of the Guangxu era of the Qing dynasty (1905), the Tam Kung Temple in Shau Kei Wan has a history of more than a century. It has been rehabilitated several times and holds a large number of cultural relics, such as plaques, bronze bells, and drums from the Qing dynasty.
