Upon arriving on Peng Chau Island, the Tin Hau Temple greets you, offering a serene spot to pay your respects before embarking on further exploration.

There are many temples dedicated to (Tin Hau) the Goddess of the Sea scattered throughout Hong Kong including the small temple sandwiched between two other modern buildings on Wing On Street in the middle of Peng Chau Island. This temple is believed to have been originally constructed around 400 years ago but what you see today was a rebuild that took place in 1792, according to information provided at the temple. What you find is a small single chamber temple built in Qing Dynasty architectural form. It includes grey brick exterior and attractive murals and roof decorations above the temple entrance. Within you will quickly find an ancient bell, nice wood carvings in front of the entrance as well as shrine with deity figures of Tin Hau. There is also a neat wooden junk boat on display that is perhaps the most interesting thing to see inside this Tin Hau Temple. Give the Tin Hau Temple a quick look-see while exploring Peng Chau. Other nearby temples that are also worth a brief look around include the small Kam Fa Temple just 1 minute walk away, The Lung Mo Temple on the beach on the eastern side of the Island and the colourful Seven Sisters Temple which is a 5 minute walk north of this location.

A small temple in which visitors can finish visiting within 2 minutes. Remember to go to the left side of the temple where another small part of the ritual decorations is placed. You can have a traditional lucky draw in the temple and get the corresponding Chinese poem to what you drew. Donation is appreciated in a Chinese temple and visitor can just put a small amount of money into the boxes provided.

Slightly different to many other Tin Hau Temple as outside it includes a Stone Tablet from the Qing Period regarding renovations made to the temple

Long time ago Peng Chau was a fishing village, people believed that Tin Hau would be bless them for calm seas and full nets. So this Tin Hau temple have been built on the island for a long time since 1832. I loved to see such the historical building, really interesting!

Solid and historical, keeping fishermen safe ...

Nice temple on main street of Peng Chau.

Built in Ching Dynasty with historic liturgical items and a nice docent.

The Tin Hau Ancient Temple has a history of more than 200 years. Every treasure is there. The Queen of Heaven bless everyone with good health and safety at home.
