Tin Hau temple, Temple of Mazu in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
Tin Hau Temple is a Taoist sanctuary in Wan Chai featuring traditional Chinese architecture with a green glazed roof. The structure comprises three symmetrical halls built from blue brick with ornamental details typical of temples from this era.
The Tai family built the temple in 1747 as the Red Incense Burner Temple. A major renovation occurred in 1868 that established the appearance visible today.
The temple honors Mazu, goddess of the sea who protects fishers and sailors. Visitors can see altars with incense and candles where people today still leave offerings and pray for blessing.
The temple sits on Tin Hau Temple Road in a quiet area of Wan Chai away from the busy district center. Visitors should respect the space as an active place of worship where people pray and make offerings.
The Tai family has owned the temple privately since its founding through Tai Shi Tong Limited. This sets it apart from most temples in Hong Kong that fall under government committee management.
