Pak She Tin Hau Temple

The Pak She Tin Hau Temple stands in northern Cheung Chau Island, featuring traditional Chinese architecture with a main hall containing maritime deity statues.

A bronze bell inscribed in 1767 during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty indicates the temple's establishment date and its continuous presence on the island.

The temple honors Tin Hau, a maritime deity from Fujian Province, who became the guardian of fishermen and sailors throughout Chinese coastal regions.

Visitors reach the temple by taking a ferry to Cheung Chau Island from Central Pier 5 in Hong Kong, followed by a short walk through local streets.

During the annual Cheung Chau Jiao Festival, the temple participates in a ceremonial parade where the Tin Hau statue travels through streets in an ornate chair.
