"200 Year Old Temple"
Built by the Tai family in the early 18th Century, this temple honors Tin Hau, the goddess of the sea. According to legends, this Hakka family used to go to Causeway Bay to gather grass. One day some family members found a Tin Hau statue amongst the rocks near the shore. The family made a shelter for the statue and the shrine became popular with boat people. Since then, a proper temple has been constructed, which barring renovations, is still largely in its original form, although land reclamation has robbed it of its harbor-front location.
