This is the only Tin Hau Temple located at Tin Hau Temple Road in Tin Hau of Hong Kong Island. All other Tin Hau Temples are not located at Tin Hau Temple Road. Construction of this Tin Hau Temple dates back to 1747 (the date of the temple bell).

This Temple is one of the many dedicated to Tin
Hau, goddess of the sea, and it is a good example of temple architecture of the period. Basically there is no big change in the temple. Of course, irregular renovation is a must. The front part of this temple does give me a very old impression. There should be no renovation of this front part for about twenty years, I guess. But it is this oldness telling us that it should have a long history.
