Tin Hau Temple Complex, Mazu temple in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong.

Tin Hau Temple Complex is a row of five adjacent buildings on Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei: from left to right, the Kwun Yum temple, Shing Wong Temple, Tin Hau Temple, Kwun Yam Lau She Tan and Hsu Yuen. The Tin Hau hall has a green tiled hip-and-gable roof with upturned eaves, red doors and window frames in grey stone walls, and a gold-character plaque above the entrance. Two brick pillars with green ceramic roofs flank the steps, and a low brick wall with green tile coping runs in front.

The complex was established in 1865 by maritime and fishing communities and relocated to its current location in 1876. The Tung Wah Group of Hospitals later took over its management and shaped its development over many decades.

The complex honors Mazu, a goddess revered by fishing communities and seafarers who come to seek her protection and blessing for safe journeys. The daily offerings and incense burning show how visitors maintain an active spiritual connection with this deity.

The complex faces Yung Shue Tau public square, with Temple Street and its night market wrapping around the front and Public Square Street along the north side. Nathan Road and the Yau Ma Tei MTR area lie to the east, past the Public Square Street Children's Playground and its Nine-Dragon Wall. Opening hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily.

The 1916 Shiwan ceramic ridge on the main hall roof still sits in place, and the temple keeps stone lions dated 1860, bells cast in 1888 and 1897, and stone tablets from 1865, 1875, 1890 and 1916. The Kung Sor and Hsu Yuen buildings served as a free school for boat and land people until 1955.
