Tin Hau Temple (Lei Yue Mun) - A temple with full of romance. A temple with an invincible sea view.

If you want to feel the romantic atmosphere while admiring historical monuments, then be sure to check out this temple that HongKongFootprint.com will introduce. This temple was built in 1754 and has a history of more than 200 years. It is said that a long time ago, the local villagers built this temple in order to pray for good weather, so that the bad weather would not affect the local crops or the harvest of fish.

This temple is located on the waterfront. It is a common Tin Hau Temple in Hong Kong and is mainly used to worship the "Tin Hau". According to records, "Tin Hau" is also known as "Mazu". It is said that her real name is "Lin Moniang". She was born in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. When she was a child, she was not only talented and intelligent, but also had the ability to predict changes in the weather. As a result, this ability saved many fishermen who went to sea to make a living. Therefore, since the Northern Song Dynasty, "Tin Hau" has been regarded as the patron saint of fishermen. Especially in some cities or villages built along the coast, there is always a Tin Hau Temple.
