iSee Tin Hau Temple

A unique temple made out of local granite

Granite temple

The Tin Hau Temple is strongly linked to Kowloon’s mining industry in Kowloon East. The temple is made wholly out of granite, a rarity in Hong Kong temples. In the mining days, the temple was much more than just a place of worship, it doubled as a community hall and village school.

Tin Hau’s birthday

Located at a popular sea route to Kowloon this place has excellent feng shui, a good location for a temple. Each year in the 3rd lunar month, fisherman come here in droves to celebrate Tin Hau’s birthday. It’s a great festival with parades and street performances.
