Tin Hau Temple

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

Tin Hau Temple is a Mazu shrine in Sok Kwu Wan on Lamma Island, Hong Kong. It houses a bronze bell cast in 1885 and a treasure furnace from 1826. The building was rebuilt after a fire on 22 January 2004.

The temple's surviving relics date its foundation to the Daoguang era: a treasure furnace cast in 1826 and a plaque from 1828. It was rebuilt in 1892, the 28th year of Guangxu, and a bronze bell cast in 1885 is kept there. On 22 January 2004 a fire destroyed the building; the Nam A South Rural Committee raised funds and rebuilt it.

People come to this temple to pray to Mazu, the goddess of the sea, for protection during fishing and sea voyages. The fishing community relies on her for blessing before they set out on the water.

The temple is within easy walking distance of the ferry pier and sits right in the small waterfront village. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and remove their shoes when entering, as it is a sacred space.

The temple's old objects survived the 2004 fire: a treasure furnace cast in 1826, a plaque from 1828 and a bronze bell from 1885. These dated pieces record the temple's Qing-era founding period and are the oldest things to look for inside.
