Tin Hau Temple, Temple dedicated to Mazu in Sok Kwu Wan, Lamma Island, Hong Kong.

The temple stands near the waterfront of Sok Kwu Wan, featuring traditional Chinese architecture with wooden plaques and carved decorations at its entrance.

Construction of the temple occurred between 1826 and 1868, followed by reconstruction works completed in the 1960s to maintain its structural integrity.

Local fishermen gather at this temple to request protection from Mazu, the goddess of the sea, before embarking on maritime journeys.

Visitors reach the temple by taking a ferry from Central Hong Kong to Sok Kwu Wan, with services running throughout the day.

The temple entrance features unusual horizontal western-style lion statues created by a local sculptor, differing from traditional upright Chinese guardian lions.
